多数大学在Class Profile里公布新生的地区来源.但Stanford对此很扭捏.但从Class 2016看来,
Class of 2016 by the numbers
The largest group of incoming students – 38.1 percent – graduated from California high schools.
The next top five regions represented in the class are the South (15.1 percent); international students and U.S. students who completed high school studying abroad (9.7 percent); the Mid-Atlantic (9.2 percent); Far West – Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii (8 percent); and the Mid-West (7.8 percent). The other regions are Mountain States (6.3 percent); New England (3.7 percent); and the Great Plains (1.8 percent).
东部的学生很少。New England只有3.7%.相比之下哈佛在加州和New England各占17%.可见斯坦福在这方面的小家子气。
