<p>Woah. T26E4 makes it sound like there is a quota, and that is NOT my understanding. It’s not like Brown says we accept 1000 black students a year and you’re competing to be in that group.</p>
<p>I don’t think you are compared to other black students. There are many variables in the equation. But I do not think that all the black student files are reviewed in one day and compared to each other. I don’t think Brown says, “let’s take this black kid over that one.”</p>
<p>To answer your question, Brown values diversity extremely highly. All types of diversity: ethnicity, geographic, socio-economic, rural vs. urban, political affiliation, first-generation college vs. legacy, etc., etc.</p>
