<p>Everyone, Congratulations on your admissions to Stanford!</p>
<p>dpattz: My S is a freshman there, and I don’t know what the “application verification” is. It may be that they verify credentials for randomly chosen acceptees, such as transcripts or test scores, just to make sure that info is legit. I’m sure you don’t need to worry about it at all. </p>
<p>I am sure you will love Stanford even more after your visit. My S just loves the sublime weather and beautiful campus. We live in the frozen midwest, too, and he never wants to come back! After Minnesota, you will feel like you are in paradise. Last winter we would be talking to him on the phone, huddling under 3 layers of clothes with 18 degrees below zero outside, while he says that he was sitting, shirtless in shorts next to the open window in his room. </p>
<p>He’s going to attend summer term, partly because he doesn’t have a job this year and partly to rack up some more credits. But it’s also because he enjoys being on campus so much. Academically, he is very impressed with his professors, course content and fellow students. Stanford was his dream school, and the reality is even better than he had hoped.</p>
