Why did you want to see your admissions record through FERPA?
Anyway, my kid is also a rising Junior at Stanford, and he says although smart kids will do well at any college, it does affect you (mostly positively) to be around other students (almost all of them) who are very motivated. He says that’s one reason why it’s impossible to not try very hard at Stanford. My kid is a type of person who don’t mind NOT standing out in a big pond rather than shine in a small pond, so Stanford was a good choice for him. He also wanted to learn the Silicon Valley culture. He did many outside the class activities that made him gain knowledge about the business world such as internships abroad, researching and presenting to high level officers of an actual business, organizing and participating in tech seminars and helping professors. I really think it’s better to have average GPA and gain many work exoperiences (of course, if you can shine in both areas, that’s great) and find out what you don’t like and what suits you. My kid found out he really is not cut out to be a think tank person after he worked at one during summer. My kid applied to Stanford on REA basis because he truly felt Stanford was his number 1 choice, and he didn’t apply to other schools after he found out he got into Stanford.
Stanford campus definitely has a techie feel but my kid (non-STEM who sucks in math) doesn’t mind that at all because he sees the need for non-techie people to learn something about tech.
One thing you should keep in mind is if COVID 19 lasts for long time whether it’s financially good decision to pay high tuition to attend Stanford when all classes are going to be online anyway. This question will be relevant for those students whose families will have to pay full tuition or big portion of costs.
