<p>And so is Yale for that matter…</p>
<p>I don’t know! I’ll just have to write both the essays and make a split decision a few weeks before the deadline.</p>
<p>They have really different supplements though: Stanford asks for like 3 essays in specific topics, Yale asks for one on a topic of yoru choice.</p>
<p>Why don’t you talk to students at both places? Check out Stanford vs. Yale threads on CC?</p>
<p>Stanford has a favourites section, too…its supplement, while being long, is actually really fun. </p>
<p>And yeah, I’ll do that, fall more in love with both schools, and feel even more confused as to where to apply early (since I’m applying to both at some point) and then… 
Nah, I guess I’ll check out those threads.</p>
<p>^ Yale has those Q&A things as well :)</p>
<p>Really? I checked the supplement on the Yale website a couple of weeks ago, it just had a ‘Why Yale’ essay. You can’t see it on CommonApp yet!</p>
<p>yale blows stanford out of the water.</p>
<p>Stanford wins hands down.</p>
<p>Who started this debate anywayy</p>
<p>I did. 10char</p>
<p>Stanford has lovely weather. When you come from a country where it seems to rain perpetually, palm trees and sunny campuses sound like a dream come true. :D</p>
<p>How many from (this thread) are aiming Stanford for EA?</p>
<p>I doubt I’ll be applying EA or ED to any of the colleges. I’m taking a lot of SAT Subject Tests (which are very important, as I’m homeschooled) this autumn, and I want enough time to be able to report all my scores.</p>
<p>guys, how important do you suppose subject tests are for internationals?</p>
<p>is it true that only sat 2 will be obligatory for the class of 2014?</p>
<p>HOW does Stanford blow Yale out of the water!?</p>
<p>I know unhappy Cardinals and blissfully happy Bulldogs!</p>
<p>Does Stanford follow a policy of one student-each-country policy? Here in Nepal, never more than one is accepted each year… And the trend has been boy-girl-girl-boy-girl for the last consecutive years.</p>
<p>^ Doubt it.</p>
<p>it’s coincidental. and it certainly has no 1-student-1-country policy. i’m international and i go to a school that graduated 88 seniors last year. 5 of them got into stanford. i’m not kidding. so as long as you show capability to succeed there, stanford will take a second look.</p>
<p>5/88? That’s pretty impressive.</p>
