<p>Is there anyone here that is actually very knowledgeable or considers themselves to know a lot about how Stanford's undergraduate admissions work? Perhaps an insight as to what kind of students Stanford looks for? If so, send me a PM, please.</p>
<p>There is an article in the Stanford Alumni newsletter which goes through the process step-by-step. Search for it on this forum or search Google for it. As for finding out what they are looking for: they aren't looking for anything. They are looking for top-tier students who have passions and interesting backgrounds.</p>
