<p>Yes you do!</p>

<p>Particularly if you are male. (There's no question that Male applicants stand a better chance - fewer applicants)
One other great thing working in your favor is your location! The further away you are from the NY metropolitan area and mid-Atlantic states the better!
Colleges don't acknowledge this too often, but "geographic affirmative action" plays a MAJOR part in admissions decisions!</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>I don't think I can say how awesome that sounds. I'm female, but hopefully that won't significantly lower my chances.</p>
