By active filtering, do you mean reaching out more to colder states or accepting more kids from colder states? I don’t think Dartmouth does any active filtering like that, California is still the top state wrt to most admitted students, yes it also has the most HS students but why is Dartmouth accepting all these kids from CA if they know the won’t enroll because of the cold? I do agree on the remote location. Anyway I think we’re getting slightly off-topic now.
