[quote=Anonymous]I think folks are just forgetting how much geography plays a part of all college decisions. 86% of all students at residential colleges attend a school within 500 miles of where they are from. If Harvard was located in Minnesota, you would have tons more midwesterners apply. How many threads on DCUM basically have parents saying their kid needs to be a 4 hour drive away. 32% of WashU is from the Midwest and only 5% is from New England. If WashU was moved to Vermont, the numbers would be reversed. Perhaps it feels less stressful if you live in Iowa and you are told you can go to any college within 500 miles…you just eliminated every East Coast and West Coast hyper competitive school. [/quote]
