<p>There is no “list.” And, there is most likely some variation over time. However, in general, SOME of the more competitive geographic areas include MD (especially near Annapolis and DC), northern VA, parts of FL, CA, TX and PA. I’m sure there are other areas/districts that are very competitive – especially those near large Navy/military bases. </p>
<p>However, in fairness, a lot of candidates are admitted from the above areas as they tend to be populous and thus generate many good candidates. So don’t despair if you live in one of those areas (I did). Focus on what you can control – the elements of your application – and not on what you can’t (easily) control – where you live.</p>
