Wiki agrees and even includes Ohio, which I found odd.

The real midwest is Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Missouri.

Ohio definitely is. the Great Planes definitely aren't. Does wiki still cite to some stupid census designation. Irrelevant.

The Great Planes lack the industrial base that is typical of midwestern states.

lmao at industrial base = midwest. By that logic, Iowa wouldn't be "true midwest" either.

Farming = midwest. Obviously there are farms outside the midwest. But that's the defining characteristic.

The 538 one seems more generally correct but how the shit are 20+% of people considering Kentucky midwest. Much less 10% for CO/WY/MT.

Yes. If you try to pull off the blazer w/ open-collared dress shirt at OCI, you're really shooting yourself in the foot.

Minnesota is a Great Plains state, and MN is definitely midwest, so how is Kansas not? It's not the west.

Obviously the GOOD MIDWEST = Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan. Duh. But Kansas is part of the midwest proper. Wtf else would it be? Great Plains = part of the midwest proper.

Also, Moneytrees is responsible for this necro. Dude you're not getting Chi biglaw or Cal biglaw from Notre Dame with zero ties. Give it up. The answer won't change no matter how many times you ask.
