How strong is Stanford’s alumni base in the east coast? Especially in comparison to Stanford’s peer schools in the east coast?
This is a pretty obvious.
Stanford will have more alumni near the school itself (the bay area).
They will have less of an alumni base than their East Coast counterparts on the East Coast.
Conversely, many of those East coast schools will have less of an alumni base in the Bay Area and LA.
However, I will say there does seem to be a pretty strong Stanford Alumni Base in NYC.
There is definitely a strong Stanford alumni base in New York, DC and Boston probably comparable to the alumni base of east coast peers on the west coast. Also an increasing number of east coast high schoolers aim for Stanford these days.
