[quote=Anonymous]And on the flip side, most students don’t recognize the impact of geographic diversity on the admissions process. They are so focused on what they can control- GPA, SAT- that they completely forget that schools want exceptional kids from places like Wyoming, South Dakota and Kentucky. Also keep in mind that for many students, going a couple hours away to their state flagship or even a regional university is often “moving to the big city” and offers far more diversity than they’ve ever been exposed to, even if it’s mostly in-state students. My husband has taught at LACs (ranked 50-100) & big universities and he often has freshman who have never traveled outside our state, been on an airplane, etc. [/quote]
