[quote=Anonymous]Hard to say. There are fewer college bound students in DC than in VA or MD (just a population stat, not a qualitative statement) so that may be a mark in your favor. But depends on the school and whether geographic diversity is important. If it's a MD or VA state school then being in DC probably isn't much of a differentiator. If it's a school that's regional (e.g., draws from the midAtlantic) then probably not so much either. But for the SLACs and selective schools it may be more of a plus. Of course for that group your competition is all the other private school kids who are applying to those same schools. I will say that based on our experience being a white girl from Montgomery County is not a differentiator in college admissions for East Coast schools.[/quote]
