I keep hearing that Stanford’s MSCS is easy to get into because they generate Big dollars and Stanford likes the money.

I am a so so student and I applied to many graduate schools but not Stanford. When I told my bro the list of schools I am applying to he replied to me “No Stanford?” I said “No, its impossible” then my bro says “Sigh… Idiot” because apparently he had tons of rich friends who get to Stanford with slightly above 3.0 GPA, I actually know some of these people with 3.05 - 3.20 GPA getting into Stanford.

So is this Myth true?

If you one of those low GPA that got into Stanford please share with us if such thing is true. Financial wise I think I could go to Stanford without FA probably have to do some private loan a little.
