“Why would they impose quota per state? That just lowers the caliber of their student body.” We disagree that there is a state specific quota. And that not taking more NJ kids lowers calibre.
They’re looking for adequate geo diversity. They don’t owe NJ kids more than other OOS kids. And it’s no evidence of much when one college picks a kid and others may reject. Happens all the time.
I’m out of this sub chat. Maybe someone will find state specific numbers enrolled.
