does location help?

<p>im from a suburban area in northern california where not too many people are applying to GW. Not too many people have even heard of it. Im the only person at my school even applying to it. (were not a bad group of students, 2 into stanford 1 into harvard 1 into columbia). just not too big.</p>

<p>so im wondering if being from a region where not too many applicants are found would help my chances at all.</p>

<p>im from near Healdsburg, Ca about 2 hours north of SF</p>

<p>thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I know many people rom Ca attending GWU, in fact there is a good percentage.</p>
