Absolutely correct! My D is an example of this. The 2% rate (and the noose incident) at UCSD is what kept her from even applying there. And, the 3-5% rate at UCLA and UCB is one of the reasons she never even considered attending, even though she was accepted with multiple, fantastic merit scholarships.</p>

<p>It has become a vicious cycle for the UCs. Many minorities don’t want to go to a school with no diversity so the school becomes even less diverse which causes even fewer minorities to apply and/or enroll.

I’m Asian, and I didn’t even consider %'s for each demographic. I’m going to Carleton, and I just looked up it’s demographic breakdown.</p>

<p>Hmm… 7% Asian, not much higher than the 3-5% at UCLA or UCB. Of course Carleton is a much smaller school as well, so there are even less Asians than there are Blacks at those UC schools. Plus, I think “Asian” includes people from India as well, which most people don’t see the same as people from say, Japan, Taiwan, or Korea. Am I going to not go to Carleton because there aren’t enough Asian people? Nope, no I won’t.</p>
