Stanford results usually consistent with HYP?

<p>stanford gets A LOT of applicants from CA. the reason they have 40% CA students is because so many of them apply. Their acceptance rate for CA isn’t significantly better than other states. You’ve said that in other threads too…

<p>EXACTLY! I live in Cali, and literally EVERYONE’S dream school is Stanford. I think a quarter of my entire grade applied to Stanford which was the school that most applied to and not a single person got in. My school doesn’t represent every Cali school, but it proves as an example. Likewise, we had about 1-6 people for HYPMC since they were on the east coast and deemed too far, but Stanford is close and all the parents have dreamed of that school. California is also an overrepresented state with extreme competition compared to states like wyoming or south dakota.</p>
