<p>Is Texas well-represented at Harvard, and if not, would I have any sort of small advantage by being a Texan?</p>
<p>Texas is the second largest (in size and population) state in the country, lmao.</p>
<p>Right, but I'm assuming it's not nearly as populous HARVARD-WISE. Cali and NY + other Northeastern states probably send way more kids, right?</p>
<p>Texas also sends a lot of kids. You're probably at a disadvantage if anything.</p>
<p>I am from Texas as well, and although there may be alot of ppl from Texas who apply i would think that texas overall would be underrepresented, usually on college websites they have a breakdown by percent of class by region. Usually our region (southwest) is one of the smallest represented, so hopefully it is a boost for both of us.</p>
<p>Anyone have a link to the geographics per state at Harvard like the princeton one did?</p>
<p>THANK GOD someone actually understands the complexities behind my question lol</p>
<p>Obviously Texas sends more students than Montana, but that's because we have more students total. Our percentage is not all that great.</p>
<p>And invoyable, I'm in the same boat as you. I really want to look at that map!</p>
<p>It depends where in TX, i would imagine. Dallas and Houston are probably well represented but places closer to the border probably are not.</p>
<p>True. Austinite right here, so probably less represented than Dallas, but moreso than almost any other city.</p>
<p>I think it depends alot on where you live and where you go to high school. I live in California, but I think I got a boast in my application because I live in a rural mountain town that rarely sends kids to top schools.</p>
