<p>Stanford is no easier, and is in fact much less predictable, than Princeton, Harvard, and Williams. Just wanted to make sure you knew that. For the best advice/chances approximations, go to the decisions threads on the forums for individual colleges on this website. There you can see the stats of people who were accepted in the past.</p>
