Is it worth applying for SA27 outside of the state I attend college in?

I attend a non-target LAC with a 3.8 GPA (we deflate), have strong extracurriculars, president of our finance club, and have reasonably strong internship/work experience. This college is very highly regarded when it comes to grad school recruiting, but its prestige is seldom recognized outside of the state. I feel that the network I have is small, but those in it are incredibly willing to help. Nearly all of these people are based out of this state. With all of that said, do I even have a shot elsewhere?
