Yeah, the problem with me is #2, as Corbett said. I love New England, and I don't really really want to go anywhere else; I did apply to a few schools in Pennsylvania, though, so hopefully that's helpful. Thanks for the comments!
brittany2009, I think your admissions officer might be referring to this: I've heard that the way the process works at a lot of schools is that your file is read a couple of times, once randomly and (a lot of the time) once by the admissions officer who's responsible for traveling throughout your area (going to area schools/holding presentations, etc). The rationale for this method (assigning officers regions to become experts at) is that they can use that knowledge for context when reading your application--they'd probably know your school and the conditions you've been in throughout high school.
So maybe this admissions officer was trying to tell you that they DON'T have admissions officers specifically read from the territories they covered in the early fall. In that case, you and the sal wouldn't be compared really closely--you'd likely have your applications read by completely different people (the "large scale" of the applications pool). Does that make sense?
