<p>I just found out about the program, does anyone know how prestigious it is? Also, is there a cost? Certain requirements? Other thoughts? thanks.</p>
<p>x it is free.
x it is quite prestigious, but i do not know how well-known the program is outside of california.
x you have to be <code>06 or</code>07.</p>
<p>How prestigious are you talking about?</p>
<p>Hm. Well, in the San Jose/Cupertino/Saratoga area, it is really competitive. Most people that do participate are from the Bay Area, because there is no housing provided at Stanford (unless you are one of the five URMs that are able to receive that grant), so I don't know if a lot of colleges know about this program.</p>
