<p>Only time is needed to knock down H, and only time is needed to not compare them anymore.</p>
<p>Hoggirl…as I had earlier estimated…only 593 students were deferred…just published in Stanford Daily…</p>
<p>[Stanford</a> Daily | Stanford accepts 748 for early admission to Class of 2018](<a href=“http://www.stanforddaily.com/2013/12/14/stanford-accepts-748-for-early-admission-to-class-of-2018/]Stanford”>http://www.stanforddaily.com/2013/12/14/stanford-accepts-748-for-early-admission-to-class-of-2018/)</p>

<p>I feel for the 5607 who had their dream crushed.</p>
<p>texas…I feel for them as well…</p>
<p>…I don’t know how “best” Stanford admissions can go about creating the best “class” and ultimately accepting only about 2100 (to form a class of about 1700) out of 40,000 plus students…without tough decisions that have to be made…</p>
<p>…the way some of its peers drag along over 68% deferred students into the regular round is just cruel and unusual punishment…and unnecessary…at least Stanford has the decency (the caj****) to let them pursue other options as soon as possible…without jerking them around…</p>
<p>As a Harvard student, I know that Stanford has outshined us. Stanford excels are academics and athletics. Had I gotten into S, I would probably had chosen it over H. I do love H, but I do think they’re a tad ahead of us.</p>
<p>Not me, Harvard over Stanford for me any day.</p>

<p>Not knowing your career aspirations, in the business world we live/breathe, S is becoming THE school, THE place, along with MIT labs, for the realization that future economic growth will be powered by technological innovation in a a few fields. You might find yourself serving the needs and business formation of these breakthrough fields, in your future profession.</p>
<p>NYT just ran an article last week on their D school (Designs for practical solution of real world problems). It’s their mindset, not the weather or sports, moved them way ahead of everyone else.</p>
<p>^^pcb1604…great article! Thanks for the info…especially for those of us living outside of New York area…</p>

<p>A class project ending up being worth $90 Million is kind of great and ridiculous at the same time!</p>
