Does being from a rural area help at all in the admissions process?

<p>rmldad, simply put, you’re wrong. If someone lives in a town in MI with 20k people and someone lives in a town with 80k people, universities really won’t care, unless living in that rural or urban area inspired you to do something. If you go to a ten person high school with no clubs, then they can see why your EC involvement will be down. If you live in Compton, they can see why your resources for ECs are limited and why you have to spend all your time working at a corner store. I did state that it depends on what you do with where you live, and how you make the most out of your opportunities.</p>
