<p>^They might say that, but that’s part of Stanford’s application process. They’re trying to see who can see past their clever ruse, and who knows that their admissions are really rolling.</p>

from the other 9 candidates</p>
<p>9-11% of my children’s high school’s graduating class is accepted to Stanford–it is a Bay area high school. Of those kids, 2-3 actually attend (note: 9-11% is many more kids than the 2-3 kids who accept and attend).</p>
<p>^ you’re becoming another Dad2.</p>

<p>SW, try to use the correct math to explain your point. You either use percentages or numbers, but not mixed, as we learned in the 4th grade. In your case, I can interpret your numbers as 9-11% of 20-30 people, which is about 2-3, so every one attends Stanford; or 9-11% of 800 people, which is about 80 people, only 2-3 attend.</p>
