I have the impression that some elite schools look upon residents of their state with a kinder eye than the general population. Rumor does indeed have it that D is one of them. At the same time, there are schools, such as Pomona, that are reportedly a tougher admit for instate students.

Whether it is true, I cannot say. I suppose that one could figure it out with an in-depth analysis of the admissions statistics by state, but that info is not available to the public.
