Stanford will no longer announce undergraduate application numbers

“We need more transparency not less.”

At these high application levels, there in no such thing as “transparency.” You have to read a few thousands applications to get the picture! SATs, ACTs, GPAs, a list of ECs and a socio/economic grouping are elements of a painting, but not THE painting. Decisions turn in a subjective direction, by necessity. Think of the best novels you have read and then tell me why you rated one higher than another. Can anyone else hold a different opinion?
