Do you have to be rich and white to get into Stanford?

<p>^ FWIW, when you adjust for regional population size, you’d find that every school is very regional, often more so than Stanford (e.g. Harvard drew 17% of its class from New England, which makes up only 4.5% of the US population; Stanford drew 36% or so from California, which makes up 12% of the US population. You can cut the regions any way you want, and you’d usually find Stanford is slightly less regional than its peers).</p>
