I am from MA, but I go to school a 3+ hour plane ride away. I will be interviewing at a school in NYC during my winter break, so I am wondering if it is reasonable to send an "in the area" email to a couple other NYC schools. Will that be frowned-upon because I am from MA, or would they acknowledge that I live far away?
