Emory or Northwestern

[Sam_Lee]

<p>

More East coast students at Emory but it does not dominate the culture. While Emory is in the south, it has so many students from the NY Tristate area and elsewhere, it does not have a ‘Southern’ feel to it like, say, Vanderbilt. A decidedly different feel at NU which is more midwest.

</p>

<p>The following data show that the student body at Northwestern are just as geographically diverse. </p>

<p>Enrolled geographic distribution at Northwestern:
Midwest 40%
Mid-Atlantic 17%
West 15%
South 10%
New England 6%
Southwest 6%
International 7%</p>

<p>Out of the seven most represented states with more than 350 students, only two are in the Midwest - IL and OH. The other fives are CA, NY, TX, FL, and NJ </p>

<p>Admitted geographic distribution for Emory College:
Southeast 36%
Mid-Atlantic 18%
Midwest 9%
West 8%
New England 5%
Southwest 7%
International 17%</p>

<p>Note that these are admitted stats for Emory College; it’s likely the enrolled stats skew more toward the Southeast. Furthermore, transfers from Oxford College increase the representation from the Southeast as 46% of Oxford admits are from there.</p>
