Geographic Information
How are the geographic regions divided?
The geographic division preferences question uses the nine U.S. geographic divisions identified by the U.S. Census Bureau.
How will division preference information be shared with programs?
If an applicant selects a geographic division:
- Programs within that division will see the preference and the applicant’s essay.
- Programs outside of that division will not see any information displayed.
If an applicant indicates they have no division preference, that information and any essay provided will be visible to any program to which they apply.
If an applicant skips the division preference section, no information is displayed.
