[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like the student was practicing "if you want HYP, move to Wyoming" that were preached by some private college counselors.

Can't imagine geographical diversity will be barred by current administration since it benefits the red states (sure, lots of folks there don't care about attending college). Furthermore, the number is tiny. For example, according to College Factual, among Harvard's 1400+ freshmen, there are only 2 from AK, AR, SD, and ID, 3 from MT and ND, and 4 from NE, MS, and WV. That's fewer than a Lacrosse roster at Harvard.[/quote]

True but the willingness to drop standards so low t[b]hey couldn't detect a scammer using a hotel as an address does not speak highly of the quality of these admits.[/b]  Yale still interviews you'd think they'd have a local reach out.  [/quote]
Maybe you do not realize that a lot of homeless children reside in hotel rooms all across the USA. There are at least two hotels on New York Avenue, NE that house scores of homeless families with children. Are those kids not allowed to attend college, even Yale, because their parents could not afford proper housing for them. [/quote] How can you afford to live in a hotel but not rent an apartment?[/quote]
The city pays the fee for homeless families to stay in these hotels. That's where a lot of the migrants were placed and you could see their children playing in the parking lot of the Days Inn. [/quote]

This has long been the case in many places.  Those crappy hotels don’t get filled with tourists.  25 years ago I stayed for a month at a red roof inn in Maryland (needed a short term rental that took dogs and they were offering a great long term rate) — about half the people there were clearly on vouchers for the homeless as transitional/emergency housing.  Massachusetts also does it all the time because the state law guarantees housing for children so if the state contacts with a ton of hotel chains to provide stop gap housing for families when the shelters are full.  Hotels give great rates to fill their older properties in under desirable areas. [/quote]
