Pure speculation regarding why you got in.

How many of the 22000 rejectees were "truly honest" and wrote "from the heart"? Oodles and oodles, I'm sure.

Wow . . . there aren't many people who literally don't know anything about Stanford and apply there any way. I think you might have hit on something though . . . on your "Why Stanford?" essay question, you should write "I have no idea. Don't know a thing about the place."

Maybe that works more than acting like you really want to go there.
