Lolface849, my son is applying, and while he is white we are far from rich. In fact, in running the net price calculator for Occidental, it is apparent that they give very good financial aid to middle class people of moderate means, like our family. I work in an inner city school, and unfortunately smart students who may be minority and/or poor tend to dismiss expensive liberal arts colleges like Oxy as being beyond their means, without even looking into how much financial aid they may provide. I guess the diversity would depend on how much Oxy reaches out to underserved communities to attract students of color or who are economically disadvantaged.
