TheAscendancy, the REA application for Stanford actually includes a statement, to which the applicant attests via his signature, that Stanford is his first choice. (It’s been a while since last fall, so you may have forgotten that part on the sig page.) Of course, since REA isn’t binding the statement isn’t enforceable, but it is still designed to indicate a heightened level of interest by the applicant who is willing to limit his early apps to a single college.
