<p>Was talking to a counselor today and he mentioned a few schools that need minorities and I should check them out; however, I stagnated when he mentioned the names. I know there’s a broad list around somewhere. Thanks.</p>
<p>By minorities, if you mean African American, Hispanic, or Native American, you will get a leg up at almost any top college or university. </p>
<p>However, for other minorities, particularly Asian, the only schools which might need them would some liberal arts colleges (esp. in the northeast). Everywhere else, they seem to be overrepresented.</p>
<p>Colleges particularly interested in attracting minorities (including Asians) tend to be those that are in states with low minority populations, and/or are in remote areas where there are few minorities. Some include top colleges like Bowdoin (in Maine), Grinnell (in Iowa), Davidson (N.C.) and University of Wisconsin (Madison). </p>
<p>I know that Calvin College, a small, well regarded Christian college in Grand Rapids, Mich. also wants to recruit more minorities as do similar Michigan colleges like Alma College. Union College, a nice liberal arts college in Upstate NY also has long tried hard to attract more minorities.</p>
<p>New College, a small public honors college in Sarasota, Fla. is desperate to attract minorities. I know that it only had literally a couple of black students on its 800-student campus.</p>
<p>The question is would you be comfortable attending a college where there are relatively few minorities on campus or in the local community?</p>
<p>I actually want to explore more cultures. I find myself reading books about the African American culture; learning about the history and the male black history.</p>
<p>When I was in a meeting today, I realized how ignorant I was in regards to other cultures.</p>
<p>I applied to Morehouse and Howard to calm my inner nerve but I’ve come to realized that if a scholarship isn’t knocking, then I wont attend. I’d rather be in a remote area interacting with others.</p>
<p>BTW, thanks for the list. Any more?</p>
<p>And to answer your question if I haven’t: I have no problem attending a college that has no minority students.</p>
<p>UW - Madison is actively looking for minorities. They also have a great Afro-American studies department.</p>
<p>Really. They sent me an application but I never seemed interested in them. I’m about to research that school.</p>
<p>Also, are they good with fin-aid for an OOS from the south.</p>
<p>Don’t know how they are with financial aid, but if you are afro-american I am pretty sure they have scholarships for minority students, both in state and out of state.</p>
<p>Williams/Amherst, Dartmouth…</p>
<p>I was accepted to williams, pm me if you want my stats.</p>
<p>What kind of minority are you?
WHat are your stats?
What do you plan to major in?
What do you want out of your college experience?
How much is your family willing to pay for your education?</p>
<p>Rhodes in Memphis, Davidson in N.C. and Sewanee (University of the South) in Tenn. all seem to be interested in attracting more minorities.</p>
