<p>i dunno i am from oregon and in the protalns metro area, there are so many smart kids. U would think oregon would be dumb, but then u got to the my school adn teh other schools around. My school had over 15 kids get into ivies alone. Representaives of colleges know what schools are good and what are not. Rembeber a lot of colleges have like west coast reps, north west etc who are actually the one who review your application.</p>
