[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why state flagships are seeing more and more high stats students.[/quote]

Is your implication that the students at Columbia, Penn etc are not high stats themselves? Just rich, but average?  Because that’s demonstrably not true.

Or was the implication that high stats kids without money just go straight to state schools without also applying/ accepted to Columbia Penn etc ?    Due to costs, this group of high stats kids goes to state. Whereas people not cost-sensitive go to Penn?

Pls clarify [/quote]

DP. Use your brain.

More kids that would have gone there in the past are now choosing in-state flagships due to cost.  That does not mean they are getting lesser students at the elite schools.  It is still ultra competitive.  It does mean it's getting harder and harder to get into top in-state flagships since kids traditionally headed for a private or Ivy are now choosing in-state.

Get it?[/quote].

Of course I get it - which is why I presented what you wrote as one of the two options that I thought of!
