<p>hey, congratilations to all of u who’ve already gotten into stanford!! u guys r really lucky to b there. its an awsome school!!</p>
<p>i know that stanford isnt need blind in admissions (for international students anyway) so i was wondering how good u have 2 b 2 get in if u need aid.</p>
<p>did any of u guys (w r international students) get in w/ aid?? if so, could u plz post your stats?? </p>
<p>thanx a lot!!!</p>
<p>Stanford receives thousands of international applicants and accepts very few of them. That alone should indicate you must be “very good.”</p>
<p>Leland stanfurd Jr college gets about 1000 applicants out of us around 14000 from CA/around, Another 5000 from the rest of the us.</p>
<p>and what baba said is irrelevant to the poster original question.</p>
<p>Best way to get in Stanfurd is to move to Menlo School, CA where they got 15 students in 04( about 1% ofthe class). They prefer CA crowd. Better yet try UCB its better and cheaper.</p>
<p>We all know that Berkeley’s undergrad cannot even compete with Stanford’s undergrad. Given, berkeley’s grad program beats all.</p>
<p>1/3 of the Stanfurd CA admits are UCB rejects.</p>
<p>where did you pull that from?</p>
<p>No one in their right mind would choose CAL over Stanford if financial aid was not the imperative issue.</p>
<p>thanx for your input</p>
<p>hey, baba, r u applying to UCB??
btw, dont the expenses for attending UCB add up to around $40,000 for non-residents??</p>
<p>oh, and r u serious about 1/3 of the stanford CA admits being UCB rejects??</p>
<p>baba is citing a survey given by the Stanford paper to the students before a big game within the past few years. There are some problems with the survey, but it can be said that 1/3 of the people that responded were rejected from Berkeley. You can search the Berkeley or Stanford forums and probably find the survey in questions with threads about it.</p>
<p>As to what baba said, moving to ca is, although not a good strategy, an unreasonable idea.</p>
<p>Static, it’s amazing how Berkeley’s program and Stanford’s programs can’t even compare, yet the students do practically the same things after attending either school.</p>
<p>Actually, most of stanford’s undergrad goes to professional and/or graduate school. You can’t disagree and say that Stanford doesn’t have a pre-professional atmosphere to it.</p>
