<p>Okay, I was wondering how much of an effect another student from my school applying to Brown would affect my chances. I heard that Brown (as well as many other selective schools) base a certain number of acceptances on region of the country. Also, is it advised to take SATs in January again and send them in after?</p>
<p>You really don’t have to worry about regions too much. </p>
<p>It’s not like they say 1/5 West Coast, 1/5 East Coast, 1/5 South, 1/5 Midwest, 1/10 Hawaii, Alaska, and US territories, and 1/10 Internationals.</p>
<p>If 35% of their applicants are from the East Coast, 35% of their students will be from the East Coast. There’s not much of a special boost or deficit when coming from a particular place.</p>
<p>I mean, no one from Idaho or South Dakota (or was it North? Hmm…) is in the Class of 2013 at the moment, and I find it hard to believe there were 0 applicants from those states. </p>
<p>It makes a little bit of a difference here and there, but it’s negligible in the long run. It’s not like a URM thing where your admission rate increases or decreases just because you’re something you had absolutely no choice over.</p>
<p>very little. though you could have him “taken out”</p>
<p>I recommend doing it Tonya Harding style, only with a more efficient hitman.</p>
<p>@Ivy: You read my mind.</p>
<p>They may have had applicants from those states but they may have not been up to par, even if they had lived there all their lives which is an application booster.</p>
<p>@DC: I was thinking more along the lines of Patrick Bateman… ;)</p>
