<p>I'm from Georgia and i was wondering if that would help at all with admissions since I read on their website that only 5% are from the southeast... i also play hockey which is unusual for a georgian
??? anyone</p>
<p>All things being equal (gpa, sats) you're probably better off coming from Georgia than suburban New york. Good luck</p>
<p>Being from Georgia is certainly much more helpful than being from some other states (New York, New Jersey, PA, etc), but not as helpful as being from states like N/S Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, etc. It's all relative. Generally being from a lesser-populated state will give you an advantage over applicants from heavily-populated states.</p>
<p>Hmm. I'd be inclined to say it helps to come from a less populated area, but then again, yale accepted a greater percentage of applicants from NY than it did from the whole early pool (24% as compared to 20%). So either way, it probably doesn't make a HUGE difference. It's about you as an individual!</p>
