Student Body

<p>Can anyone comment on the geographic representation at W&L? My son is very high on the school. He is a senior at a NJ prep school and I am wondering if the southern states make up the majority of the student body.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Freshman class for 2012: </p>

<p>Represents 39 states, 23 foreign countries and possessions, and the District of Columbia </p>

<p>84% of the student body, excluding International students, are from out of state. </p>

<p>The states with the most representation in the class of 2012 excluding transfer and international students:</p>

<p>VA - 15.2%
NJ - 7.3%
MD - 7.3%
NC - 5.9%
NY - 4.5%
GA - 4.5%
CT - 4.3%
SC - 4.3%
TX - 4.3%
PA - 4.1%
OH - 3.9%
CA - 3.9%
FL - 3.6%
TN - 2.5%
MA - 2.5%
AL - 2.5%
MO - 2.5%</p>

<p>22 other states are represented, but make up less than 2.5% each. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>It's perfect. Do you where I can locate similar data for other schools?</p>

<p>I really appreciate your help.</p>
