Hello!
I am 8th grade from one of these states.
Michigan
Indiana
Iowa
Wisconsin
I am applying to many boarding schools: Exeter, Lawrenceville, Choate, Andover, St. Paul, Milton, Groton and more. I’m from private school, not legacy, and live in a town of 100-400K. ("m white)
Would my geographical location help/hurt my admission? If so by how much?
Thank you.
[bMODERATOR’S NOTE:**
A valid question. Sadly, the OP chose to create a second account to ask this question, which violates ToS. So, I’m closing the thread. But to give an answer:
Zero
Geographic diversity at this tier is overrated, IMO. These schools are getting more than enough applications for the available spaces. They don’t need to take a student from a state simply to say that they did. Perhaps in that elusive and hypothetical “all other things being equal” it might be a feather on the scale, but all other things are never equal.
