- i am sure that everyone is suffering from the economic downturn. Endowment for colleges were down everywhere. But still many private colleges are in better shapes so they can capitalize on the woes of public schools.
smartman: thanks for quick reply. my concern is, though stanford and caltech are not affected by state public fundings, are their private donations or state re ...

白露為霜: Stanford admitted around 40% of students from California (data comes from collegeboard.com).
Stanford is huge on the west coast. Most of applicants a ...
harvard admits 25% in-state students. stanford 40% and UC-berkeley 81%. berkeley's recruiting is hurting its reputation in the long run. let us compare harvard and stanford.
considering MA is not a big state, students from northes harvard admits should be around or higher than 40%, i guess. so, considering that CA is a huge and dominant state in west coast, i feel we can safely conclude, stanford and harvard are quite similiar in the percentage of local student recruiting. therefore, i don't think either of them has a short-coming in this aspect.
BTW, stanford will mostly likely set up a science and engineering campus in NY City. they will start admitting students in 2012. after that, the % of stanford students from west will drop significantly and stanford student body will greatly diverify and it probably be its big plus.
incidentally, in mid-1990s, stanford had 14,000 students, half graduates and half under-graduates. nowadays, it had ~20,000 students, 2/3 graduates and 1/4 undergrads. harvard has 2/3 undergrads and 1/3 graduates. what does it mean -- i mean, is it a good or bad sign for the school? (I feel it is more bad issues than than good?) any advice?

so you see, 16% + 22% = 38% is close to 40% of stanford ca students. i would assume 40% of local student body is a mature and sustainable percentage. maybe we may further check MIT to get another comparison.

Jchu1688: 看法非常同意，而且現在的講師，教授，和社會已脫節，尤其在建築繫上，不接觸不知道，一接觸還真嚇一跳，水平夠低，他們還說設計技巧要到社會上去學，是不是誤人 ...
還是得靠美女呀。
