<p>I heard the Asian male applicant pool is UNBELIEVABLY competitive. Is it somewhat helpful to be a CA resident?</p>
<p>I doubt it – if anything, I’d think it would hurt, just because Stanford does want to have geographic diversity… sorry.</p>
<p>There isn’t an Asian male applicant pool per se. The applicant pool includes a large number of Asian males, and yes, it’s extremely competitive.</p>
