[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember hearing Harvard admissions people saying the single biggest thing you can do to help your kid get into Harvard is to move to Alabama. I'm sure that is true. The court case about Harvard admissions that isn't going to the supreme court has revealed how much geographic diversity helps (interestingly it helps more or less depending on race - Asian applicants get fewer geographic diversity points because Harvard says they aren't "really" from there - but that is another topic). Geographic diversity helps a lot but it isn't a slam dunk. My friend does alumni interviewing in a rural state and she is surprised about the kids she interviews who seem impressive and don't get in.[/quote] That’s crazy. Larlo Smith who moved to Huntsville 3 years ago because his dad is a scientist isn’t “from there” either. [/quote]
