Am I at an advantage?

My understanding is that as long as you meet the requirements that Stanford is looking for then it doesn’t make a difference if your school is well known to them or not. As a matter of fact thats why, in some instances, kids from obsure areas in the country, like Alaska actually, have a better chance of getting in. Their geographical location is a hook. Also, some small schools don’t offer AP’s and that can’t be taken against the students either. So I highly doubt it would be taken against you. However, I’m not sure it would necessarily be a perk, especially since your from Maryland.
