<p>I wasn’t getting many responses so I thought the parents might help me out. I’m a junior right now and I’m coming from Arizona. I’m asian (north Indian) and Asians are a small part of Arizona’s population. My school doesn’t have many Asians as well. I was wondering if location is of any factor when applying to schools like Emory (16% Asian), Vanderbilt (6% Asian), or NYU?</p>
<p>Yes, location is a “tip” factor which is more an “all thing equal” factor.</p>
<p>Hi, Mystic! I live in Arizona too. </p>
<p>In their viewbooks or on their website, do the colleges have a list of their student’s home states? If the numbers from Arizona are low, then you will contribute to their geographical diveristy–so yes, it can be a factor.</p>
