About 40 percent come from California, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countries are represented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percent are African American, Asian American, Hispanic or Native American. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distin- guished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for every place in the freshman class. Seventy-six Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars and 52 have been named Marshall Scholars. In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyed tremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 34 Division I varsity sports – equally divided between men’s and women’s teams. Of Stanford’s 93 national team titles, 43 have been captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation.
