<p>I said that ONLY Stanford’s cancer bio program only gives out about as many offers as there are spots (UNLIKE other schools - like UCSF, Harvard, MIT, etc.) - they are special like that bec. Stanford’s cancer bio program is very desirable. And of course SK has other well-respected research areas besides cancer - but if you know that you aren’t interested in cancer- perhaps other schools would fit you better (the OP had posted about the reputation of their degree/worth applying to).</p>
