<p>From Bloomberg.com, <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=areIr4adEZdQ&refer=us%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=areIr4adEZdQ&refer=us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Stanford University outside Palo Alto, California, accepted 16 percent of the 4,644 students who applied through its early admissions program this year, according to figures released today. The school made offers to 12 percent fewer students compared with last year under a new committee-based decision process, in which a group of admissions officers reviews every application. </p>

<p>Stanford tied for fourth place in U.S. News and World Report's 2007 college rankings with California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Princeton was ranked first, followed by Harvard in second place and Yale in third.</p>
