Where can I get in?

collegeprep, Swarthmore, Wellsesley, Pomona, Mudd and all of the urban campuses attract a large percentage of Asian applicants.

The schools that I would consider to be “hungry” for Asians as part of their drive to diversity are the more remotely located schools like Williams, Hamilton, Kenyon, Grinnell, Carleton (I’m sure there are others). Williams ends up with a reasonable percentage of Asians but needs to accept more than, say, Swarthmore because they choose not to matriculate. Same is true for other minorities as well but Asians (both east and south) are in a different category because they are not URMs at many top colleges.
