The charge that has been leveled at Princeton (not Harvard) was that Princeton favored suburban kids over urban ones, because the urban ones were more likely to be Jewish (and later Jewish and Asian) students attending schools such as Stuyvesant. Suburban students are not considered to contribute toward geographical diversity. Being from Appalachia or Montana is; being from an inner city neighborhood is. Being from Scarsdale, NY or Lexington, MA is not.
