<p>@sevmom: I agree.</p>
<p>That’s why OH always sends more kids than MI to Ivies/Ivy-equivalents (at some schools, more than twice as many) even though they are 2 states of similar size in the same geographic region.</p>
<p>That said, I think that it really depends on what your kid is aiming for. For example, Haas, McIntire, and Ross are targets for the Street. However, while Ross has preferred admits (which are tough to get), entrance in to Haas or McIntire is not guaranteed even if you originally get in to Cal or UVa. In IN, Kelley of IU is also a Street target and you can get in directly from HS, but getting in to their IB or IM workshops (which are the main ways to get recruited for Wall Street) is a competitive process and not everyone gets in to those programs.</p>
