<p>I don't think your location will have much of an impact. However do keep in mind that some schools are trying to get more students from particular areas, so location may be a factor in some cases</p>

<p>Sorry to bring up a "dead" thread, but I added Georgetown, Pitzer College, and Brown to the list. Could anyone please give me chances on those?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
