[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what state is middle of no where rural America? From what I gather it seems to be more about state than "middle of no where." Colleges love to be able to say stuff like "we have students from all 50 states and 200 countries"...if it's middle of no where Ohio or Illinois or Minnesota (among others) I would say no because those states have large metro areas that will produce a lot of well-qualified competitive applicants from good publics or private schools so colleges have their pick of a large group of who they want to admit from that state. now, if we're talking Wyoming or North Dakota...those states have much lower population and not really that many competitive high schools/kids gunning for competitive colleges so there would be fewer applicants so more likely to be admitted to get that geographic diversity.[/quote]

Rural southern Utah - city of 80k but hours from anywhere else.  My sister is a physician and her husband a surgeon, so they are not under privileged by any means.  [/quote]
