tokenadult, really? The Midwest has more “elite private colleges” in the U.S. News Top 25 (Northwestern, University of Chicago, Notre Dame, and WUSTL) than any region besides the Northeast.



Okay, I’ll revise my statement in light of what you said. Midwestern students are underrepresented in elite private colleges along the coasts because they have some elite private colleges in-region.

After edit: to know just which state or region is “underrepresented” we would have to look at the high-school-age population of each state and region, to figure out what a “natural” number of college applicants from each place might be.
