Please.  Rural america provides some of our best and brightest and has since America's founding.  

Rural public schools often provide a far superior education than their urban counterparts.  Remember the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) tests from grade school?  Iowa has one of the best public school systems in the nation, same with Nebraska, Utah, Minnesota, etc.

The reason these kids have little chance to get into your Ivy League university is because you charge four times the amount of a state university.  The rural kids don't have those resources and are smart enough to stay away from the boondoggle you are running.
