<p>Yes, Stanford does make an attempt to get females in computer science. It’s actually a big effort of theirs. I think if you showed a passion for CS in your application, it might give you a boost. Here’s a video from Eric Roberts, professor who’s important in running the CS curriculum, talking about women in CS:</p>

<p>The table you link to is on degrees conferred in 2010. Recently though there’s been a huge number of people declaring CS, and many of them are female. You’d need to look at the # of female students currently in CS.</p>
<p>Finally, remember that Stanford emphasizes interdisciplinary endeavors, so many students choose similar disciplines that overlap with CS. You might look into the representation of females in Mathematical and Computational Sciences, Symbolic Systems (which definitely has a lot of females), Electrical Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, and others that draw on CS. There you’ll find a lot more females, whose representation in CS classes is much higher than the current figure of degrees conferred indicates.</p>
