[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no question that being from an “underrepresented” state can get you in.

Example 1:
Student from our NYC school with Bs moved to Utah before junior yr. Student with straight As, all-around brilliant kid, stayed at our school. Both legacies to Ivy. Utah kid got in, NYC didn’t.

Example 2:
Friends who are both HYP grads recently moved to Maine for this purpose - to best position their kids for college acceptances.

how can they afford that?[/quote]

What do you mean?  The Utah family is extremely wealthy - they have been living in their Park City ski chalet and they still have their NYC penthouse.

The Maine family lives near Portland, which is a really nice small city. They also bought a ski house further north.

No financial issues for either. [/quote]

We could not afford to relocate w/o employment and our skill sets probably would not match up with employment opportunities save a few large metro areas. Can’t imagine we are the only ones on this thread in that situation. [/quote]
