<p>Sorry Menloparkmom, but you’re wrong. Stanford did in fact used to have an ED program. </p>
<p>[Stanford</a> offers admission to 556 Early Decision applicants : 12/01](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/01/earlydecision19.html]Stanford”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/01/earlydecision19.html)</p>
<p>And in relevance to this thread, how much of a bad thing is this whole lack of good advising? Is it a problem only with Stanford or can a similar phenomenon be found at HYPM as well?</p>
