It’s probably a correlation-not-causation thing. The Pennsylvania Governor’s Schools are high-quality and free, so they are very competitive to get into. Penn takes a lot of kids from Pennsylvania. The strong students from Pennsylvania Penn takes are likely to have been good candidates for a Gov School slot, if they wanted it. So . . . lots of Gov School alumni at Penn, without it really meaning that much.
