People in Asia and India certainly think Stanford is more prestigious because of Stanford’s unparalled strength in science and engineering, which those countries in that region tend to emphasize. I can’t speak for Europe, but a guy in my dorm was accepted to Oxford and Stanford and he basically said that Oxford is not as highly regarded as Stanford and so he came here. Also, his sister got into Cambridge and Harvard, but she ended up going to that school in Cambridge, Massachusetts lol.
