You know that I always agree with you. It's in our secret "Survivor CC Island" pact , isn't it? And anyway, you are correct. ;)</p>
<p>Always think reverse commute. If everybody who looks like you heads south, you head north. If you are rural, look urban. Conservative (the thinking kind, not the reactionary kind) look liberal. And of course Female look at schools where the male population is 70+. Male? Head the other way. This strategy works well with merit but it works best at the upper reaches of merit IMO, and then continues throughout need only schools. Probably a gross oversimplification that I will get drilled on but who cares? "The better the school, the more they care about things other than the raw numbers". Milk it for all it's worth.</p>
<p>OH, and weenie - "displayed" interest works fine. Posters mired in tradition would say "demonstrated" interest. You just have more imagination.;)</p>
