The regionalism was actually less than I expected, excluding CA’s per capita representation in Northeast selective schools. More typical, less selective schools generally show a far greater degree of regionalism. For example, some numbers for “Institute of Technology” colleges with varying degrees of selectivity are listed below (based on 2010):</p>
<p>Massachusetts Institute of Technology – 10% acceptance rate, #6 USNWR
16% CA, 11% MA, 9% NY, 8% TX, 5% FL, 5% MD, 5% IL, 4% NJ, 4% VA, 3% PA, 3% MI, …</p>
<p>Stephen’s Institute of Technology – 42% acceptance rate, #75 USNWR
66% from NJ, 15% from NY, 9% from rest of northeast, 10% from outside of northeast</p>
<p>Illinois Institute of Technology – 63% acceptance rate, #113 USWR
73% from Illinois, 13% rest of midwest, 4% from CA, 11% from outside of midwest and CA </p>
<p>New York Institute of Technology (Old Westbury) – 69% acceptance rate, not ranked as national
89% from NY, 6% from NJ, 3% from rest of northeast, 2% from outside of northeast</p>
