Abstract: 32-York (6,301), California (1,292), and Missouri (845).Of the states ranked in the top ten in 1968, only two were not among the top ten in 1963; these are Utah, ranked sixth 595, in 1968 and eleventh in 1963 and Georgia, ranked ninth 405 in 1968 and twenty-second in 1963.states with large negative net migrations in 1968 are ranked virtually the same as they were in 1963.The state with the largest negative net migration in 1968 is New Jersey (-7,737).Other states with large negative net migrations are Virginia (-4,824), Maryland (-4,646), Ohio (-1,481), and Michigan (-1,130).There were other significant changes in these rankings from 1963 to 1968.Perhaps the most noteworthy was the shift in net migration ranking of Pennsylvania from 4th in 1963 with a net gain of 2,079 to 26th in 1968 with a net loss of -293 graduate students to private institutions.Rhode Island also reported a major change: it ranked 42nd in 1963 with a net loss of -517 graduate students but moved to 12th in 1968 with a net gain of 231 graduate students attending its privately controlled institutions.Georgia made a similar shift from 22nd ranking in 1963 to 9th ranking in 1968 with a net gain of 405 graduate students.Reasons for these major shifts over a relatively short time period are likely due to institutional admissions policy changes of the various private colleges and universities within each state .
