I’ll suggest Manhattan University (7% black) in NYC where about a third of the students are enrolled in engineering and which has a long established major in chemical engineering.
A few years ago Money Magazine named Manhattan the #1 transformative college because students there significantly outperformed students at other colleges with similar high school grades and backgrounds. The college attributes their results to their Office of Academic Success, which works closely with students whenever they are identified as struggling in a particular class. For a dyslexic young man, this kind of support could be very helpful.
