New book: "Excellent Sheep"--The Lower Ambitions of Higher Education

<p>Would be interesting how his opinions relate to those in Ivy league admissions offices which seem to vary <strong>a lot</strong> in their ethnicity considerations. Clearly college admissions have biases in diversity. See <a href=“College Navigator - Columbia University in the City of New York”>College Navigator - Columbia University in the City of New York; and compare with <a href=“College Navigator - Yale University”>College Navigator - Yale University; and very different from Dartmouth <a href=“College Navigator - Dartmouth College”>College Navigator - Dartmouth College;

<p>Columbia is more asian and more hispanic than the US in general, while Yale slightly less than Columbia but still a much lower percentage of white (non-international students) are admitted than would be expected based on US demographics. I was surprised that the Military Academies seem to have the “fairest” admissions (in the sense of matching the demographics of the US overall).</p>

<p>There are probably lots of CC threads on the topics of which schools ignore race (the top 7% rule at UT, which results in much higher percentages of Asians) while others try to match the US demographics while others try to maximize diversity. Probably someone has college lists showing which schools to apply to depending on which ethnicity you are.</p>
