<p>Weenie is right that NJ kids aren’t going to bring geographical diversity because they’re already found everywhere in the country in fairly big numbers.</p>
<p>I’m curious what the problem is. A few h.s. kids are throwing guesses around in your living room. I doubt they have any inside track on accurate admissions knowledge. If Stanford is your S’s strong first choice, go ahead and apply. Isn’t that what EA is designed for? If he’s not leaning heavily in any direction, EA isn’t for him anyway, regardless of Stanford’s view of Jersey kids.</p>
