<p>No, but the concept exists: The schools that are actively seeking diversity are schools that have a difficult time recruiting and retaining URMs. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ALL schools want to increase diversity. Some schools act on this institutional need via merit scholarships, fly-ins, summer programs, etc. aimed at URMs. Some schools get many highly qualified URM candidates with or without these types of incentives and recruiting.</p>
<p>I can’t speak for Occy and W&L, I’m not very familiar with them. IMO, all of the others on your list get large numbers of URM applicants, and many highly qualified URMs are turned away each year.</p>
<p>If you are looking for colleges that are actively seeking diversity candidates, I would recommend schools like Grinnell, Carleton, and many other mid-west or rural LACs, not some of the most sought after colleges in the nation.</p>
