[quote=Anonymous]It is often said that there is a benefit to applying to "distant" colleges. But this is usually expressed in terms of a student from a low-population state (North Dakota) applying to an elite East Coast school. The DC area is not New York City but it is highly populated and has a lot of smart kids. Has anyone attempted to quantify the benefit to applying to distant schools from this area? How far do you have to go before an admissions committee will "care" - California? How much of an admissions edge will it give you? Is there a database for each school showing how many applicants they received from each state? And yes of course you'd have to balance any admissions edge against the additional cost of "out of state" plus travel expenses etc.[/quote]
