<p>So what are some of the most academically competitive areas in the US?
Southern California definitely.
specifically- Orange County, some parts of LA county.
Bay Area
New Jersey </p>
<p>others?</p>
<p>MA
NY
Fairfax County, VA (idk about VA as a whole)</p>
<p>Apparently Baltimore, MD is pretty competitive.</p>
<p>lol I would just like to throw the Bay Area out there again =)</p>
<p>On a rather broad scale, I’d say for states CA, NY, MA, NJ (among a couple others maybe) are the most competitive.</p>
<p>yeah i’m pretty sure those four are in the top five most competitive states…</p>
<p>Databox you’re in Bay Area? Lol, competitive area in Norcal…I happen to be in the competitive area of SoCal (Orange County-ish). Interesting.</p>
<p>As long as I start getting into academics…I’m such a late bloomer it’s not even funny. All you peeps with calculus-studying in 4th grade, it bothers me.</p>
<p>Lately I’ve been making some progress…LMAO. Actually started studying for the first time like 2 days ago.</p>
<p>Montgomery County, MD</p>
<p>They have three of the top 100 schools, and all of them are non-magnet publics - whoever happens to live nearby goes there.</p>
<p>California and the New England areas covers it up succinctly enough.</p>
<p>norcal pride :)</p>
<p>NY. def. </p>
<p>bx sci pride. :D</p>
<p>Not the Detroit area, that’s for sure…</p>
<p>lsts, my cousin lives in Howard county, which is basically the same thing as Montgomery county, and I can’t stop thinking that his school is incredibly easy. I live in an uncompetitive area, but I go to a top 100 school, so I guess it’s different.</p>
<p>I’d say Mass.</p>
<p>i would hate to be in a competitive area</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Didn’t you say something like this a coupla months ago? lol</p>
<p>Montgomery County I’d say. But then again I’m biased. I think SoCal, the Bay area, NJ, and NY are pretty competitive too.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah, the Bay Area is crazy, it had about 13% of the world’s USAMO qualifiers last year and made up 1/3 of the IMO team…</p>
<p>Databox: And then I failed.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve been to the Bay Area, and all I saw were Asians…lol.</p>
<p>Haha wow, try to keep it up this time, you’re certainly smart enough to pull off good grades =)</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s the Bay Area, and that’s why there are so many olympiad qualifiers up here…</p>
<p>I’d like to emphasize CA again.</p>
<p>NYC is competitive D:</p>
