<p>How much of an advantage does coming from a certain region in the US thats under represented hold in the college admissions process. Is it as great as a legacy or URM?</p>
<p>It’s not greater than legacy or URM status. It’s very minor in fact, if even considered. Most colleges don’t consider it.</p>
<p>Geographic diversity is weighed more at some schools than other. It depends on the school and the state (or country) that you are from. I do not think it is weighed as heavily as URM, don’t really know about legacy.</p>
