PR URM - Geographic Discrepancies?

AA's, NA's, and MA's are relatively well dispersed throughout the country. But I was curious as to whether PR URMs enjoy larger boosts in the areas that PRs typically populate since they are not nearly as well-dispersed.

For instance, would a NY or FL school give a larger boost to a PR than would say U of Wisconsin, Washington, or a Texas school? Or are they treated equally all around?

Surely SOMEONE out there must know SOMETHING about this! Come on TLS! :roll:

This is true of all URMs to some degree. Would not count on it making a significant difference, though.
