<p>And Doss, I have friends who would aver that you are full of cr*p. Stanford doesn’t hire people to participate here, and unlike lots of other colleges, they don’t send an official admissions person to post here either. Apparently they either have little interest in this site (and I’m beginning to see why, if that’s the case, given the very high BS quotient on it) or they believe that the students who take the time to post here in an effort to help prospective students learn about Stanford are doing a good job as it is. I do agree that people with axes to grind come to these forums, and that can be a big drag, but they are pretty easy to identify for the most part.</p>
