The Universum survey reports that more than 50 percent of minority students primarily select companies that over high starting salaries. When narrowing in on the expectations, ethnic group diferences are, as seen in graph below, striking. Salary expectations of students representing the Latino and Native American community fall in the lower end of the spectrum while descendants from India expect to earn more than $50,000 in starting salary after graduation.

Additionally, Hispanic Americans undergraduates are more likely to ask for dependant health insurance in their compensation package while greater percentages of Asian Indians and Asian Americans ask for stock options and signing bonuses compared to the overall student population.
