[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are from Wyoming?

If not, then you have it correct.[/quote]

And then have something unique on top of Wyoming. I know a student in Idaho with 1500+ SAT, top grades and every AP class offered at his small, rural school, + took several APs online, strong ECs in computer science  Applied to MIT, CM, several Ivies. Didn't get into any but his classmate with a very similar profile but a boy applying for an English major got into all the Ivies they applied to (both boys applied to the same schools). Both White, not first gen.

A boy English major is more rare than a boy computer science major. And those schools aren't accepting two kids from the same rural school so everytime they picked the more unusual applicant. [/quote]

Idaho is a poor example. Idaho is where MANY very rich Californians and celebrities now live. These kids’ resumes, ECs, classes are likely as prepped and planned out as kids in the Bay Area, NYC or DMV. Rural North Dakota might be more convincing.[/quote]
