<p>I have a friend from Nebraska who said that in terms of college admissions, his two children were "geographically desirable."</p>
<p>Maine is just about as rural as Nebraska, and only one other girl in my school is applying to Georgetown. Does it matter that we're surrounded by pretty high-populated states?</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the ratio of Alabama is? I am from Alabama and I want to know if there is a bunch of ppl from here?</p>
<p>does Florida count as "the south" or is it a category of its own?</p>
<p>New Jersey should be its own region...so many kids go off to competitive colleges its disgusting...haha</p>
<p>Is Utah counted as West or Southwest?</p>
<p>I come from an extremely unfortunate area as a Georgetown applicant---Fairfield County, CT. There are roughly 30 students applying from my graduating class of 500. My town is a pressure-cooker, it is not unusual for students to apply to 15 schools, resulting in a high number of applications allocated to various competitive institutions. The whole area is full of public schools like mine, in addition to a Jesuit prep school that sends tons of students to georgetown each year. </p>
<p>BLAH, i want to move to wyoming</p>
<p>Do you think coming from a brand new school (first graduating class) from CA is an advantage or disadvantage. I've heard that its better to have a reputation, but then some say they might give my school a chance because of the clean slate. if it helps, our API score is in the top 3% in CA.</p>
