are you putting in with that area as your first choice? seems pretty odd. what code did you put it? I'm sure you know, but just in case: you can go to the statistics page: http://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/Statistics.aspx
and go in there, check the code you put in for against the data they have for that code and see what the pref points required were for both resident and non resident.
sounds like you knew this already, but figured I would post it just in case, and it will help some other folks out too!
