transfer

[Jsmith1990]

<p>No I understand that point, I’m just saying “giving more weight” is an equivalent to “focus more” and I mentioned sophomore standing as they were not intending to apply for Junior standing. But thanks for the ad hominem to try and prove a point.</p>

<p>However to clarify from Stanford itself:</p>

<p>

"We are frequently asked how much weight we give to the college record versus the high
school record. Quite honestly, it depends. As a general rule. when a student is applying
during the freshman year, we devote about two-thirds of our attention to the high school
background and one-third to the college experience (for which we usually have only one
semester or two quarters of work to evaluate). </p>

<p>On the other hand, when the candidate is
applying during the sophomore year, about one-third of our attention is focused on the
secondary school record and two-thirds on the college record. In “nontraditional” cases
where transfer applicants may have interrupted their education between high school and
college for several years, we place more emphasis on the recent college experience.</p>

<p>Even when we place greater weight on the college record in an evaluation. the high
school program and performance are still important. We recognize, of course, that
because of socioeconomic differences or other reasons, not all young people have been
exposed to the same academic resources and opportunities in high school. Also, some
students may not have taken full advantage of the available resources or worked to their
full potential in high school. While we are sensitive to these factors (and each year admit
some true “late bloomers”), most of the transfer applicants admitted to Stanford have both very strong high school and college records.
