Answer 1

I am was recently admitted to Stanford University (Class of 2011) and I rejected MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Yale, and Cornell (in addition to a couple others with much lesser repute) for this highly regarded institution. My application included (but was DEFINITELY not limited to):

- Establishing and providing over $5,000 in funds for an inner-city orphanage in India
- Traveling to Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Jerusalem as well as Kenya, Uganda, and Somalia on peace missions
- Working with the Peace Corps, Doctors without Borders, and the Red Cross internationally and domestically to raise money and awareness
- Volunteering in homeless shelters, hospitals, burn wards since the age of 10 (also includes raising $7500 for Tsunami Relief in Indonesia as well as $2000 for Hurricane Katrina relief)
- Teaching sign language and braille to the deaf and blind, respectively
- Serving as a tutor since the age of 9
- Working at a suicide hot-line and built houses for the impoverished
- Maintaining a 5.0 GPA throughout my entire high school career (this was accomplished by having "Straight A's" as well as taking college classes.)
- Scoring a 2370 out of 2400 on my SATs
- Scoring straight 5s on all 20 Advanced Placement Tests that my (public) high school offered
- Attending Youth Leadership conferences in Washington D.C.
- Winning the school's MVP in Girls' Crew and Tennis
- Founding and/or Serving as president for such clubs at my school like the Advanced Physics club, I <3 Pi, National Readers, Science Club, Mock Trial, Key Club Intl., Amnesty International, the Environmentalist Club, and the Asian Club

Additionally, I was Valedictorian, class president, statewide artshow winner, officially recognized by the Senate for my accomplishments, and I am fluent in six different languages excluding English (Vietnamese, French, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Punjabi and Latin). I am also an accomplished pianist, cellist, bassist, and guitarist. To date, I've written four published thesises and I am currently writting and illustrating a children's storybook.


.... All I can tell you now is that if you haven't been on the high road towards success already, good luck, you'll need it.

Answer 2

You can get the range of statistics for those admitted to Stanford (or any other school) at Princeton Review's web site. See the link below.

Stanford is one of the best universities in the world, and one of the hardest to get into. It has few drawbacks. In my opinion, the only drawbacks are that it is in California (which some people consider a plus) and red is its school color (I don't look good in red).

schools will likely be out of date in 10-years. virtual schooling is long run. MIT is giving 2000 categories away free of charge. Yale tapes lectures free of charge on Net. All a university does is promote admissions tickets. Yes or No. you'll come see the lecture. a million. Real lecture. 500 humans can see lecture two. Digital lecture. a million-three billion humans can see lecture on Net. shrewd-humans research technology-engineering. it What to research, Not wherein. are you able to application, do calculus sure or no
