I’m from Maine, and I got waitlisted at Bowdoin, as did my friend who has better scores than I do, a higher GPA (and mine is pretty high) and is the valedictorian. I’ve heard that being a Mainer can give you a slight edge since they apparently try to do right by us, but I’ve also heard that since Bowdoin is the best school in Maine, the creme de la creme of pretty much all Maine seniors apply and thus it’s harder for Mainers to get in.

What do you think is true?
