Why are other admissions officers assigned to different parts of the country (and world) but only Dean Furda reviews UK applicants? Is there some sort of advantage applying as a UK citizen instead of another international citizenship?

I’m guessing it has to do with where the admissions officer visits and the number of applicants from the different countries. I can’t imagine there is any particular advantage to applying as a citizen of the UK versus another European country.
