My son got in from Maine and it does seem if you are a high acheiving student it may be a little easier. Though I have also seen kids not get in also. So they are still trying to fill a class. I honestly don’t think a lot apply from Maine and New Hamphire Vermont because travel can be difficult. Also there was one from Maine that got in last year he decided to go to a closer top school. So I am sure they take a few just in case.
