Applying to College

<p>Are Asian males under represented in admissions to Brown, Northwestern, and similar schools, particularily in the ED rounds?</p>

2

<p>nope</p>

<p>try ORM</p>

<p>Lol thanks everyone</p>

<p>Of the “most difficult” to be admitted colleges in the College Match function of <a href=“http://www.collegedata.com”>http://www.collegedata.com</a> , Asian students appear to be underrepresented only at Bucknell, Colgate, Gettysburg, and Washington & Lee.</p>

<p>But isn’t there evidence that Washington and Lee actively try to limit their non-white population.</p>

<p>No, if anything, they are an overrepresented population because they are admitted at very high proportions compared to the percentage of Asian Americans in the United States. This is not always the case at every school, like @ucbalumnus‌ points out, but overall top schools do have a significant Asian American population in comparison to average American demographics.</p>

<p>Washington & Lee may not be seen as attractive by non-white students, perhaps because of its reputation for conservatism. An example of a political controversy there is the removal of replica CSA flags from the Lee Chapel where Robert E. Lee (yes, the CSA general who later was president of the school) is buried under:

<p>Interestingly, the school (then named Liberty Hall) enrolled a student who was probably the first black student in US higher education in 1795. However, no other black student enrolled until the 1970s.</p>
