<p>“Stanford was lying when they said they read every essay. That’s some ********. I worked at the admission office. My job was to screen out the apps that didn’t meet the criteria. I can’t tell you what they are cuz I already signed a form. After 1 week, from 25,000 apps, it goes down to about 5000 then they read the essays.”</p>
<p>I have an incredibly hard time believing this. If he signed a non-disclosure agreement, which is what he seems to be alluding to, I doubt he would be able say that much about the admissions process especially since it goes against what Stanford says publicly. If the Stanford lawyer who wrote this “form” had more than a fourth of a brain, a pretty safe assumption in my book, then this so called admissions employee would have broken the agreement and Stanford would be able to force CC to release his IP address. From this they would be able to find out who he is and pursue legal action.</p>
<p>Since he has probably already divulged enough information for Stanford to come after him, why doesn’t he just go all the way and tell us what the cut offs are? He is not telling us because he does not know them, and he knows that if he lies about it some admitted student will come in to say that they had stats bellow that cut off and their essays are the only things that reviled something unique about them. </p>
<p>To all those worrying about their admissions prospects, do no fret over this piece of misinformation. In fact, just stop worrying altogether. It is done, enjoy the remainder of your senior year. As I am sure you all know it goes by fast.</p>
