[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]35% of Stanford students are from California.

It attracts many Californians who are not interested in leaving the state for university (and there are many of them). The Silicon Valley successes have given it worldwide publicity, but whether it is at the level of the PR trumpets is another matter.[/quote]

You are wrong if you think Stanford is different than basically any other university in that regard. Virtually all universities draw significantly from the region they are located in.

T[b]ake Harvard. The equivalent area to CA would be, I’d say, New England and the mid-Atlantic, which comprise 37.9% of the class of 2021. (https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics)

A lot of kids look to the schools relatively close to where they live, even among top schools.

Duh.  Where are the best private boarding schools located?????[/quote]

Wrong. That’s not what’s going on. Every school draws significantly from the kids who live in the region near that school. Find me a school that doesn’t and isn’t highly specialized.[/quote]
