| "But if you are talking about percentages, you might want to look at Notre Dame which I believe has around 24%"
Is there an echo here? Hawkette, that was my point. That is exactly what I said. Even small, private universities outside of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic do not have more than 25% Northeast/Mid-Atlantic representation. The fact that 14% of Michigan's undergraduate student population come from the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic is very significant. It is to be commanded and admired. That is why Michigan's reputation in NYC and DC rivals that of the elite Eastern private universities. Their alums hold the highest positions both in the private and public sectors in those two major East Coast cities.
Which brings us back to this thread's purpose. Reputation. Your stats are interesting to be sure, but they do not give the OP much to go on. Those stats are not a reflection of academic reputation or academic quality. |
