Sakky: obviously it’s not the only purpose. But in NJ, they do whine all the time about the best students not staying, and what they can do to attract them. It’s a big issue here. How could they possibly know if she wanted to go or not? She had a free ride there–it was certainly in the running.

Also, you can’t compare admissions to MIch and Rutgers. Michigan is actively sought by out of staters, but Rutgers, both Honors and regular, is almost entirely instaters.

BTW, in the year after her experience, they changed the Honors program to automatically accept based on grades and SATs. I’m thinking they got a lot of complaints.
