Unique ways to get into Stanford?

[gravitas2]

<p>…outside of being a recruited TOP scholar-athlete (usually nationally ranked) for a particular position in a particular sport that Stanford is trying to shore up…if you are looking for the magic formula to ensure a spot at Stanford (“unique ways” as you say)…there is none…</p>

Extracurricular Activities
Learning about your extracurricular activities and nonacademic interests helps us to discover your potential contributions to the Stanford community. Students often assume our primary concern is the number of activities in which one participates. In fact, an exceptional depth of experience in one or two activities may demonstrate your passion more than minimal participation in five or six clubs. We want to see the impact you have had on that club, in your school, or in the larger community, and we want to learn of the impact that experience has had on you.</p>

<p>In some cases, exceptional abilities in athletics may influence our decision if the applicant is otherwise well qualified, but such abilities never, by themselves, ensure admission to Stanford.

<p>…the best advice I can give you is the following…students that pursue their “unique” interest (that you truly love and are passionate about) to the greatest depth and highest achievements outside of the classroom (international>national>state)…the better your chances of standing out to the admissions committee…
