how much location matters?

<p>I'm only a sophmore but I was wondering how much of an affect does where you live have on getting into a prestigous college? I live in Louisiana and I'm not sure how many people go to ivy leagues and such but I'm sure it's far less than in other parts of the country so I was just wondering how much this will help or hurt me?</p>

<p>No im pretty sure they dont care where your from. Thats only some state schools (darn you California for being so cheap). If you wanted to donate a library to Harvard Im pretty sure thatd help but nothing else really.</p>

<p>Location won't hurt you. I think being somewhere where not alot of people are not applying to Ivies helps you though. I mean not like thats the reason you're in, but I can only see it helping you. Good luck!</p>
