<p>Here is a thought. Most of the schools that utilize QB have an over abundance of kids that apply from the NE area. Maybe they favor students from other geographic areas so they can get the high achieving kids from areas that typically don’t have the appplication #'s of the NE/mid atlantic corridor. From my experience with my daughter, I can tell you that of her graduating class of about 700, only a handful of kids would even name recognize most of the QB schools. Almost none of them would qualify for QB income wise, but even if they did, I’m pretty sure they would not be applying. Going to UGA, Auburn, UA is just what you “do” around here. I think QB schools may like to snatch up kids from more underrepresented areas that are high achieving AND interested in them. JMO.</p>
