You're not wrong. The VC douchebags that Stanford produces these days aren't exactly making the world a better place. The ability to make a good horseshoe would be a better skill set than the parasites that Stanford is producing these days. And I say that as someone with three generations that went to Stanford. It is not what it once was.

How about Elizabeth Holmes? Another world-changer!!!

Yes, sure. We don't need a ChatGPT bot statement like that.

It’s literally what their AOs have said. You can choose to ignore them, but they have made it fairly clear that perfect/near perfect SATs, Olympiad medals, and robotics do not really move the needle. A student with such a profile is wasting their ED/REA opportunity with Stanford.

My kid was rejected REA from Stanford a couple of years ago. 1600/4.0.

Rd — accepted to MIT and Harvard.

We are in Massachusetts so we are pretty sure it was yield protection. They knew my kid would be accepted by MIT or Harvard and would go there. Yield matters for rankings. Stanford brags they reject the perfect kids …. Because they know the perfect SAT/GPA are going to have choices and are not going to yield as it’s not ED.

So I really want to encourage those whose kids were rejected this year to tell your kids to not give up hope. Apply to the Ivies and/or MIT. Good luck!

I don't think Stanford is yield protecting. These days people want to go to Stanford more than Harvard or MIT.

Stanfords formula is very different from Harvards. They are not looking for the same kid (9 times out of 10).

I can believe that. Or that it is just randomness. But I don't believe they yield protect.

My kid applied to 4 out of HYPMS and was accepted at 3 so I don’t think there is yield protection. These schools don’t appear to engage in that way.

Whats the difference in what they’re looking for? The admits, other than recruited athletes, seem similar.

I think they are a mashup of MIT and Harvard with better athletics mixed in.

There’s a lot written about this.
Do some digging.

Sorry, your kid was not yield protected. I know quite a few NE kids who got into Stanford and went there over Harvard. I think from the NE they are looking for kids interested in humanities because most of the kids that went to Stanford from my kids school were non--STEM. CA is already very strong in STEM they can get instate kids for that.

Is Stanford that strong in humanities? When I think of Stanford, all I think is tech and startups.

All the kids I know who got in (3) are stem majors.

It has some of the best humanities departments in America. Just closer to Silicon Valley than New England so people don’t hear about it.
