<p>I've come accross several threads in which some users have "dissed" Texas. Well, I'm from Texas, and i don't think i go to a horrible school. </p>
<p>When colleges see I'm from Texas, will they laugh at me or something?</p>
<p>:|</p>
<p>No?</p>

<p>the only possible thing I can think of is that you come from a populous state, so you may not have the "geographic diversity" advantage someone from say, Wyoming has. But aside from that, no.</p>
<p>Heh. Dude, I came from Kentucky and it didn't hurt me. And I had plenty of Texan class/dormmates.</p>
<p>No. no. no. Although most northern colleges have a very low percentage of students from the south in general. This definitely does not include Florida or California.</p>
<p>You're a bit of an anomaly, but it's not completely ridiculous.</p>
<p>Absolutely not.</p>
<p>You might have an edge at Ivies admissions if they are low on Texas to begin with.</p>
<p>^There are probably a large amount of Texans, though.</p>
<p>I wouldn't expect it to affect you.</p>
