<p>do the math idiots, no wonder you got in at UC at Palo alto. 45% enrollment from(see <a href="http://www.stanford.edu%5B/url%5D">www.stanford.edu</a> UG enrollment), 700 of class, 2/3 yield means 1050 admits at 12% rate is about 10000 applications from CA. Take 1500 international out, add 3000 applications for West then you have 13000/17500 for US applicants.( total applicants are 19000 with 6-7% international. So you see 70% applicants are around CA, which represents about 20% of US Population. It is a regional school like NWU in midwest.</p>
<p>Check Menlo school(next to Palo alto)placement : UCB 62, Stanford 40, IVY 80( 2002-2004). How many ou you got EA at stanford, then applied HYP RD got rejected? Now u are a cross admot data, ha ha hah hahaha hahahahahaha!!!!!</p>
<p>If you compare the size of California with the size of the northeast states, you can actually argue that HYP are also regional schools. Take Princeton for example (no offense to anyone who's enrolling there). Out of 4676 undergradutes in 2003-2004 (from the Princeton website, <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/pr/facts/profile/04/08.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.princeton.edu/pr/facts/profile/04/08.htm</a>), 607 were from NJ. Considering that NJ has a population of 8.4 mil (according to the 2000 census), and CA has a pop of 33 mil, pretend that NJ suddenly became as populous as CA (which would make it a fair comparison). The number of NJ students at Princeton would quadruple, meaning that 52% of its class is from NJ. </p>
<p>Here's another comparison: in terms of land area, CA is almost exactly equal to the region given by the combined northeast states of NJ, NY, PA, MD, VA, and MA (data once again from the 2000 census). Now, conveniently enough, Princeton has kindly posted on its website as to exactly how many students from those states were enrolled in 2003-2004. If you combine them, you'll see that in terms of percentage of its undergrad student body, those states represent 45.89%. Hmm. I can now argue that Princeton is a regional school. All I had to do was to account for the size of California.</p>
<p>Once again, no offense to anyone going there. I picked this as an example simply because I had the official figures.</p>
<p>You go too far with your analogy, and your credibility suffers..</p>
<p>Referring to "land area" is bogus.</p>
<p>Carve out an area of the mid-atlantic equal in population to California, and you will see that while Stanford's "regional" cast is not as strong as it might first appear given the fraction of undergrads who are California residents, it is, nevertheless, more heavily skewed to the West than Princeton (to use an example more favorable to your case than, say, Harvard, MIT or Yale) is to the Northeast.</p>
<p>Fine, screw the land area analogy. But still, you have to admit that even HYP are quite "regional" in the number of applicants and enrolled students. Stanford may be slightly more so, but even so, you can't compare it to state schools (which is what baba has done).</p>
<p>I think I should rub some salt. Do I have a mix of salt of pepper for sf hurts ones? If you add NH to MD it would be 2 times CA population. Most IVYs and MIT keep % lower than 30-35 from these 60 plusmm. And they try get about 20% from the west. Home state would around 10-15% for NE schools. If you apply the math I did for L StanF Jr Collge, you would see that, no of west coadst applicants to HYP will outnumber NE applicants to SF by 2 to 1. That is called national appeal.</p>
<p>Lastly, ever wonder why that dingy school in east Palo alto ever publish regional breakdown!!!! They want hide it, truth is not good for the health. Next time I argue with any Sf admit, I would ask him to retake SAT math again with right ID.</p>

<p>Don't you realize that a 10-15% homestate population for northeast universities is relatively the same as a 40% CA population for Sford?</p>
<p>I don't why I even bother arguing with you. If you have a problem with Sford, that's fine. You're entitled to your own opinion. But please, don't post the SAME thing over and over.</p>
<p>yeah i think this is just going to be the same pointless argument over again and tomm he wil just state it again. he is troll and he is not interested in who wins or loses but rather how much he can get under our skin with his horrible information. I guess we should just ignore him</p>
<p>here we go again. Ignore the facts. That is same as fabricating truth. Here you have company( HYP minusP) alum G Bush would do that, not me. I am hurt.</p>
<p>So Stanford is a sucky state school, thats kind of like saying baba is a nice smart person. Take a look at the world rankings (i know rankings may have many mistakes, but you cant dismiss them)</p>
<p>As byerly previously stated, there is no doubt that Stanford is more regional in its student body and applicant pool than HYP. Nevertheless, it is not a state school like the troll keeps saying and is, in fact, one of the best universities in the US and the world. </p>
<p>I don't think people seriously felt that Stanford is regional, seeing as how it's more famous than Yale and rivals and maybe even surpasses Harvard in name recognition. Stanford is Stanford. Dropping the name is enough to win an argument. That's how good the school is. Like the equation 1+1=2 or the statement, "Bush is a moron," the issue of Stanford's prestige requires no further explaination because it is so self-evident. </p>
