[quote=Anonymous]If she's from one of those 2000 person rural Pa towns in the middle of the state where the high school graduating class at the local public school is 50 kids and the school offers 3 AP courses total, yes she is going to get a geographic bump. If she's from the Philly or Pittsburgh suburbs or even the bedroom communities of smaller cities like Scranton or Harrisburg which have perfectly fine schools -- no way is being from Pa. the kind of advantage that it would be if she were from Wyoming. That said -- "almost all As"?! She doesn't even have ALL As and they think ivy? I don't know anyone - regardless of diversity or geography or anything - who has gotten into Penn in the last 5-7 yrs with even 1 B. So if that isn't enough for Penn, why on earth even apply to Harvard?[/quote]
