[quote=Anonymous]"Geographic diversity" is a thing. As a result of the Bakke decision of 1978, it's often much easier for students to get into a college where fewer students from their own home area apply. Therefore college counselors will sometimes push students to apply to top schools on the opposite coast, even when the families and students would prefer them to stay near home. This extra travel adds expense and is less environmentally sustainable but allows colleges to consider demographic characteristics with otherwise would have been forbidden in admissions. [/quote]
