University of Rochester--record number of applicants in 2013

<p>I’m surprised you didn’t get in Trinity or Union, as these are almost identical classic upper-middle class to upper class good white-dominated schools supposedly looking to bolster their reputations with greater “diversity.” Not sure where I saw this, maybe in a NYU thread, but one kid wrote something I thought was brilliant (even if obvious on reflection). A lot of the adding diversity movement is for the enhancement of the privileged white, so that THEY can have a more diverse experience, rather than for the students providing those folks the diversity that makes their school appear more prestigious.</p>
