[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, everyone needs to remember that schools looks for geographic diversity. Accomplished, high scoring (white) kids from the DMV are a dime a dozen. If your same child was applying from North Dakota they would have a better chance. You may not think this is a big factor but as someone who works in admissions…it is. [/quote] So true.[/quote] It's actually not true. The top 10% of a great school around here still has a much much better shot at top schools than the top .5% at a lower-performing school in North Dakota. In the end. the colleges, while they do seek some geographic diversity, ultimately want students who they know can be successful and meaningful contributors to the community. Raionalize all you want, but this argument is (mostly) myth.[/quote] This.[/quote]
