<p>Does anyone know how much harder admissions is for people applying from Long Island?</p>
<p>Well long island isn’t very far away, and lots of people apply from New York, so, its probably not gonna be any easier. You certainly don’t get any diversity points, but i doubt that your location will hurt you.</p>
<p>yeah umm it wont help but if you have good stats dont worry.</p>
<p>LOL, I’ll bet the percentage of students from Long Island here is at least in double digits.</p>
<p>no, it’s the West Chester, NY students that dominate, not Long Island. Just sayin.</p>
<p>Massachusetts must be the most represented in the studet body, right?</p>
