<li>yea, home-schooler isn’t a hook in itself at stanford. they do like home-schoolers and try to get many to apply, but i wouldn’t say they particularly “favor” home-schoolers in admissions.</li>
<li>i’m not sure if they do/dont look at fb</li>
<li>there are ways to get around private settings on facebook. several people at stanford know ways lol (but maybe because some people here work at facebook?) with that said, stanford won’t use illegal measures to get your information…</li>
<li>some stanford admissions staff do look at college confidential, but i don’t think they care. i think its more for curiosity</li>
