State representation

<p>Is GA underrepresented at Stanford? Will being from GA somewhat increase my chances, as opposed to being from CA, NY, NJ, or those other highly represented states?</p>

<p>it is represented decently, but it is not one of the highest. couldn’t say beyond that. it’s really anyone’s guess, and it likely depends on the other applicants from GA</p>

<p>Last year, 20 enrolled from GA, 30 from NJ, 49 from NY.</p>

<p>^ ewho, where did you get that data? I’m curious to see the other states/the distribution as a whole.</p>

<p>

I also would like to know this.</p>

<p>I found it! The geographical distribution for the class of 2013 is on page 5: <a href=“Page Not Found : Stanford University”>Page Not Found : Stanford University;

<p>Woohoo, 8 people from good ole’ Louisiana.</p>

<p>Thanks, Binarycalculus! that was very enlightening… it blows my mind that there can be a whole state with only ONE student admitted… it is the state recognized to have the worst education system though >_<</p>

<p>^correction: one student matriculated.</p>

<p>Hypothetically:</p>

<p>I wonder if say, ten people applied from an underrepresented state, if they would accept more of them (if qualified) than compared to, say, California, on the grounds of increasing diversity?</p>

Same thing with New Hampshire, if I’m not totally blind</p>

<p>you’re right. I didn’t see that until after I posted.</p>
