[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please understand people posting about their schools, those students got in in-spite of their grades not because of them. They had an it factor in the whole package. [/quote]

Also, many “nonDMV” posters are from parts of the country where the applicant pool is not as competitive, and/or they benefit from adding geographical diversity.[/quote]

Ha. Yes, the NYC metro area is not competitive. Nor is Chicago. Nor LA.
Who are you referring to?[/quote]

Who are you referring to, no one identified where exactly they were from only “nonDMV” [/quote]

It’s not much easier re: competition levels once you get to places like NYC, metro Atlanta, Chicago, Silicon Valley, Seattle, Houston, Dallas,  etc. Some of those suburban areas rival the DMV in terms of competitiveness. [/quote]

DMV is easier than NYC. On par with Silicon Valley (for east coast), Chicago and top ATL schools (Westminster, etc). You people have a very inflated sense of DMV importance. As a New Yorker I find this place hilarious.[/quote]

Incorrect, we can use National merit cutoffs as a surrogate for the number of high stats kids in a state.  NY, NJ, MA, CA, VA Md and DC are the most competitive with the highest number of high stat kids.  GA, IL, and Fl are not.[/quote]

GA, IL and FL are weird states. Particularly GA and IL. Metro Chicago and Metro Atlanta are super competitive. Numbers like National Merit cutoffs are diluted by the other parts of the states. To be fair, VA is kind of similar with metro-DC diluted by the rest of the state, though there are more pockets of decency in VA.[/quote]
