[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure a NW ED is a good strategic choice.  it's really difficult to get into from the DMV (a hair away from impossible) Also, if you're coming from private you better be a URM.  2023 admits from DC privates were about 10/10 URM.

So, what areas of the country/states have better odds at getting in? Midwest? [/quote]

I know a ton of kids who matriculate to Northwestern from NYC and NYC area schools, as well as California, Texas, and Florida. Admissions is not significantly different in any way from other schools ranked in the T10-20.[/quote]

I think what’s missing from this though is that these kids are coming from mostly private schools.  They are mostly rich.  Despite higher Ed claiming to value equity and diversity, they mostly take very wealthy or sad stories of hardship.  They keep the rich rich and lift a few from poverty.  Everyone in between fights for scraps. [/quote]

This is most T25 schools.  And those who get in that are not from private schools are still largely rich kids.  Without prevalent merit awards, that is who can afford $80K+ schools.  [/quote]
