<p>Woops. My bad, folks. Fingers typed it but head was elsewhere. Like its already been corrected, its 25,000. Which is still a record. Here's the exact email quote.

We have received nearly 25,000 applications for admission (the largest in Stanford's history), which means that we will be able to offer admission to just 10% of those students who have applied.
Considering how they only let in about 20 transfers last year (which was already an all-time low) can we expect the cut-off to be even harsher this year? Is it likely that they'll pull a Harvard and not admit any transfers, or will the number of transfers fit on one hand?
