Princeton’s proportion of Native students (0.1%) isn’t much different from some other elite colleges, like Harvard (0.2%), Penn (0.1%), Emory (0.2%), or Vanderbilt (0.3%), although it is smaller than Dartmouth’s (2.3%!), Cornell’s, Duke’s, Stanford’s, and Yale’s. It could be any variety of reasons - recruitment issues, lack of an existing community (it can turn into a cycle if many Native students want to be in an environment with a lot of other Native students), etc.
@usualhopeful - I was talking about national score differences, not ones at individual schools. I found the statistics from the College Board: [SAT score percentile ranks](Home – SAT Suite of Assessments | College Board).
Most recent research points to the correlation between race and SAT scores only growing, not shrinking: [url=<a href=“http://www.cshe.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/shared/publications/docs/ROPS.CSHE_.10.15.Geiser.RaceSAT.10.26.2015.pdf%5DHere’s%5B/url”>http://www.cshe.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/shared/publications/docs/ROPS.CSHE_.10.15.Geiser.RaceSAT.10.26.2015.pdf]Here’s[/url] the study, and [url=<a href=“https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/10/27/study-finds-race-growing-explanatory-factor-sat-scores-california%5Dhere%5B/url”>https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/10/27/study-finds-race-growing-explanatory-factor-sat-scores-california]here[/url] is the layman’s terms coverage of it in Inside Higher Education.
