As a small college with a highly personalized admissions process, Olin College in Needham hopes to maintain a diverse student population, despite the end of race-conscious admissions.
was quite clear: Schools can no longer consider the race of a student in making admissions decisions, even as just one factor among many. But the decision did carve out one notable exception: students may still discuss how race shaped their individual life experiences and identities.
Meanwhile, Olin’s small size allows staff and students to forge personal connections with most of its top applicants. In 2010, Olin enrolled just 12 Latino students and two Black students — together comprising just over 4% of its total population. Olin College has high academic standards: its applicants earn a median SAT score of 1520, and maintain an average 3.91 GPA in high school.
During a candidates’ weekends four years ago, Garcia happened to meet some current Latino students at Olin. They had just started up a new student group called the Multicultural Innovators’ Experience, designed to provide a community for students from underrepresented backgrounds. They hope that a test-optional policy through at least 2025, and targeted recruitment based on geography, will help mitigate diversity losses throughout the admissions cycle.Olin College president Gilda Barabino says Garcia’s experience shows how a diverse campus can kick off a virtuous cycle. “In an environment where people can see themselves, you’re much more likely to be able to attract others as well,” she said.
