Ashmuoh, thank you very much. I appreciate your real-life based advice. You’re probably right, the only way to really know is by inquiring/investigating during a visit.

Celestroberts, I was not at all concerned about the social aspect of Stanford. From everything I’ve read, it seems that Stanford has a good social scene in addition to it’s strong academics. Maybe not as social as Boulder, but it was definitely okay with me due to the extreme academic quality and prestige.
As for the valedictorian question: though you’re correct, I cannot be 100% sure I will graduate as valedictorian, I would argue that it is likely. I do go to a large, competitive high school, though I am considerably above all but one other student who is a good friend of mine.
