| I wonder what Stanford's reputation really is in the Southeast? In GA, if I
asked most folks about it, I think I'd get responses based upon their athletic teams. When comparing Stanford's draw to that of eastern universities, you need to remember that Stanford is the only elite private university on the entire west coast (one of two if you count Cal Tech, but that's < 1,000 undergrads so it's not a serious consideration for that many people. Columbia is one of at least a dozen elite privates on the eastern seaboard, so the attention to top schools is split at least that many ways. |
