<p>I’m not sure how the blog is misleading – it seems like the author more or less used the facts that Stanford was willing to release and just asked a few good questions. It is strange that Stanford wouldn’t release more information and that they would react so much to a blog.</p>
<p>Can’t say I’m too well-read in college application sites on the internet – is this a popular blog? It certainly seems well-researched (they found the “Faculty Senate” notes!) and posted-to fairly often by a college counselor, and it has quite a few comments. If I were applying today, I wouldn’t be too happy if I weren’t offered an interview but someone else was, solely based on where I live, especially without the option to drive to the closest interview city.</p>
<p>And hopefully “bored” admissions directors could find better uses of time making a great freshman class!</p>
