Does being from the same town/area help this year. What does everyone think?
Probably not at most places. At past sites, we have specifically discussed ways to limit local students so as not to create the impression that a program only takes local students. In large cities, it's going to happen, but it definitely did not give people a leg up, if anything, it hurt your chances (in the past we were able to limit the # of students accepted from a program in our match list).
