<p>My D’s best friend from middle school days is going to Bowdoin. She’s wonderful, bright as can be, black and from a Baltimore public high school – a magnet school, the oldest public girl’s high school in the nation… And she knows of three other black girls from Baltimore public high schools going to Bowdoin in the fall.</p>
<p>It sounds like Bowdoin is trying to have true diversity – where there’s a critical mass of black and other minority students so that the white majority can really learn from them instead of expecting them to assimilate into the white majority.</p>
<p>Here are some stats (go to the far right drop-down menu for Student Characteristics):

<p>Anyway, she’s really excited and got a good feeling from her visit so she’s going. She’s also getting a full scholarship, so that helps :)</p>
