[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People always say buy into a good school district because better school, better peer group. But it's also buying the assumptions about that applicant pool. Better to be the poorest family in a wealthy district than trying to be the diamond in the rough (who is actually relatively well off) in a poor district.[/quote] That doesn’t make any sense. No one’s assuming you’re full pay because of your zip code. Look at all the well-off families around here getting financial aid at their private high schools. [/quote] DP. The College Board Landscape tool, which most colleges use, gives data down to the census tract. So. much. data. Algorithms may drive decisions in ways that AOs who are not the Director of Admissions may not even be aware of. Predictive modeling will help the college end up at a certain % full pay vs on financial aid, and I suspect it's even more fine-grained than that, as they do need to stick to a budget.[/quote]
