<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
