Okay, I have a related question. Do LACs also tend to diversify in terms of what high school prospies come from? I've heard that it's harder to get in sometimes from certain schools because so many of your classmates apply. Obviously, this wouldn't be quite so extreme as the "quotas" from states mentioned above, but if I go to a school that sends the great majority of its class to state colleges/universities and very few to top notch private colleges (i.e. at some of these places I'm the only one applying from my class), will that work in my favor at all? I know I'm cursed because I'm from MA, so I'm looking for some saving grace in my location.
