Yes but plenty of those kids come from highly populated metro areas where those stats are very common. [b]This kid has a hook: rural.[/b] [/quote]

how do you know rural is a hook?[/quote]

Geographic diversity and less competition. [/quote]
does geographic diversity "count" within states though? i went to a pretty, uh, inadequate high school in rural southern illinois and I'm not sure that counted for anything. Pretty sure I was still competing with the kids from the New Triers and Walter Paytons (i.e., the hyper competitive high schools in the Chicago area) of the state. If anything I feel as though it was probably a disadvantage because my school had no track record of ever sending kids to Ivies or even kids applying to them.[/quote]
