<p>Depends on what you see as balanced and real world…While the bs population may not accurately reflect the U.S. population, it reflects the global population–perhaps not with exact accuracy, but far more accurately than the U.S. population. Schools with that level of diversity tend to put a lot of emphasis on training “global citizens” (in Exeter jargon, from every quarter, to every quarter.) </p>
<p>That may not be the right fit for everyone–but it doesn’t completely preclude white, middle class FA kids like mine. And really, when has bs ever reflected the population at large?</p>
