Just tossing this in… Friends son was a legacy at Stanford.(But no real donations not even $500 here an there) played water polo (father played for Stanford) but was not recruited by the coach, as in couch did not give him an early read envelope(pink btw) He intended to apply EA, but once coach saw his stats/ec’s etc. fall of senior year he told him no way he would be admitted EA- that was the strongest pool or recruited athletes (early read, not just coach interested, but not willing to use his # of early read recruits) He told him his only chance would be RD perhaps he could talk to admission then. So for Stanford EA is the best/brightest and most talented, even for Stanford.
