Hypothetical example:
A highschool student applies to several colleges that s/he wants to
attend, and gets accepted into one in New York City and one in
Providence, RI. S/he really wants to live in a vibrant city, so s/he
chooses the school in New York City. Does the fact that geographic
preference influenced his/her decision prove that the academic
standards of either the student or the academic institution had been
compromised?
