[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out-of-states add geographic diversity to the school, especially international students. In top publics, the out-of-state and international students are better qualified academically.

Would much rather prefer [b]out-of-state students who provide national/international geographic diversity over easy admissions for incompetent students from weak rural school districts who provide "geographic diversity" within the same state.[/b] [/quote]
this is so dumb. almost all out of state students at my kid's university (herself included) are high ses from nova, Maryland, tristate area, wealthy parts of California, wealthy suburbs of chicago. call me crazy but I think a low ses in-state student from a "weak rural district" who grew up on a farm, or the child of factory workers, or migrant workers, or whatever, offers far differing/diverse life experiences to the umc student from say, Bethesda, than does a student from scarsdale or lake forest. I know, I know![/quote]
