<p>How much does living in a remote western state like WY or ID help in admission?</p>
<p>Yes it does.</p>
<p>Depending on the university or college, your application would be given a little bump, as schools often consider: geographical region and/or state residency. If the state you live in has few students attending, then it is probable that you would be given extra consideration. Remember, however, that grades, scores, essays, and recs are still very important. </p>
<p>Anyhow, it's just my 2 cents. I hope this helps you.</p>
