i went to the q&a at university of maryland, and the dean of admission to the school of social science said that it would be easier for someone from the east coast to get into Stanford than UVA.



He can not possibly have meant that the way that you presented it. Stanford is one of the hardest schools in the country to be admitted to, admission to UVA is not nearly as hard. Stanford and schools like it want to be well represented geographically but I don’t think there is any shortage of applicants to Stanford from the East Coast. No, I don’t think being from Boston will increase your chances of being admitted.
