[quote=Anonymous]It's just life OP. The 50 state thing is a big deal for most schools. Not sure if southern Utah is a huge hook, but realistically the number of kids applying to Georgetown from Utah is disproportionately smaller than the numbers from the East Coast/DMV. So overall, geography will be a point in their favor.

That doesn't mean it's a game changer, and you should be wary of interpreting too much from your relatives' college lists, especially early on. My kid and his cousin both went through the process this year, and early on seemed to be targeting very different levels of selectivity despite being generally similar in terms of credentials. I wondered if one of us was way off base (us too pessimistic, them too optimistic.) By the time the kids actually applied, the disparity wasn't as great.

Don't let other kids' aspirations mess with your heads. It's been really nice to have everyone rooting for one another sincerely through what is a lousy stressful experience.[/quote]
