[quote=Anonymous]And in addition to the great points above about the fact that there are far more kids in this country with comparable profiles, do not forget that there are also a ton of kids applying from overseas with comparable profiles -- many of whom will be full pay. So your kid (and mine) is in competition with all of those kids, in an environment where schools now want a well-rounded and diverse student body that includes geographic diversity. So kids from the DC-MD-VA area with those stats are a dime a dozen (if not less), while kids from less populated states with those stats might have an edge if the incoming class needs students from underrepresented states (or countries). It is what it is, and as Frank Bruni says, where you go is not who'll you be.[/quote]
