<p>Would being from California be an advantage when you are applying to Duke? Or anywhere on the East Coast for that matter? For some reason, I feel like there are significantly less California students applying to Duke than the schools in the North East, but maybe I'm wrong.</p>
<p>It's true. There are a lot of apps from southern California though.</p>
<p>CA's usually among the five or six most represented states in Duke's incoming class so don't count on much of an advantage there or any "national" U or LAC on the East Coast for that matter.</p>
<p>Yeh, California isn't exactly the lowest on number of applications. (though my native New Mexico is, there are so few of us...)</p>
<p>What about Georgia?</p>
<p>TONS of applicants from GA.</p>
<p>Oh wow, the joy. lol.</p>
