<p>Baelor, I think that you made the rigth decision by choosing P over S. The current Stanford admission process has too much social engineering in it. It is taking the Stanford undergraduate education toward a downward slope. Don’t be fouled by the 30000+ applications that they received this year. If they tolerate mediocracy rather than advocate excellencies, they will receive 50000 applications in a couple of years and have even fewer number of cross-admits with HYPM.</p>
