Arp- Not diverse?

The students accepted into the Class of 2009 are a particularly diverse group. African Americans, Asian Americans and Native Americans all made notable jumps in terms of the percentages admitted. Latino student representation also increased nominally. Non-white applicants made up 46 percent of accepted students, an all-time high. Furstenberg also noticed an increased percentage of southern and western acceptances, comprising 18 and 20 percent respectively.

With 149 legacies comprising 6.9 percent of all acceptances, the sons and daughters of alumni represented the largest percentage of acceptances in five years, according to Furstenberg. Meanwhile, international students remained relatively constant at 7.3 percent of acceptances.
