[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and no I don't think I am jealous! I love the east coast and my family is here (as is my friend's family)...a college admissions edge is not worth the move from my perspective. Just thought it would be interesting to note how geographic diversity can be gamed, and is being gamed, like the rest of the system. And I don't think it's going to hurt my friend's kids that other high-achievers at the school don't apply to the ivy league. Provided that parents can get the kids noticed (and my friend knows just how to do this, as an ivy grad herself), admissions officers love to "discover" great candidates off the beaten track. Of course, these kids are planted there on purpose! [/quote] Off the beaten track these days means kids from rural poor areas or kids in shitty urban schools. Not wealthy midwestern suburbs.[/quote]
