<p>Methinks the OP doth protest too much. Tufts Syndrome? Hah! Yield protection might be slightly important, but on a whole, I do believe that Stanford is…Stanford. No one is “over-qualified” for a school. It seems impractical and improbable that the Stanford adcoms said “Ah…this girl cured cancer and this boy started a Philanthropic organization reaching millions. They can’t possibly want to go to Stanford, we’re just their safety school.” Does anyone else seem perturbed by such thoughts?</p>
