[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what the issue is. The flagship schools in the big states - like California, Texas, and Michigan - tend to vacuum most of the great in-state students. And a 1350 from a shit school in Flint or Waco or Salinas is much more valuable than a 1550 from GDS or Sidwell or choose your privileged school. That 1350 from a difficult school shows resilience and talent and discipline. Texas, Berkeley, UNC - to their credit - are all focused on in-state students. Michigan will take more OOS students, but it remains primarily focused on in-state. For the OOS students, you need to be a little extra special, but most importantly you need to be willing to pay twice as much as every other student at these schools. And these realities are distorting when compared to the high endowment private schools. Harvard and Texas-Austin have different priorities. [/quote]
