<p>For all of those accepted into Stanford, how important is the stanford EPGY program? I really want to get into Stanford, but I didn't join its EPGY program. How big of an impact does the EPGY program have in Stanford admissions?</p>
<p>Judging by the fact that I have no idea what EPGY is, and I got in, it doesn’t seem necessary.</p>
<p>EPGY used to be very influential in decisions, but I hear this was many years ago. It has since become very diluted (since several students do the program in the hopes of getting a leg up).</p>
<p>Attending EPGY has absolutely no impact on your admission decision. What can impact your admission decision is the fact that you took a course in which you were genuinely interested and got something out of it through a program like EPGY. I know several people who attended EPGY who were rejected, and I know several people who did not attend EPGY who were accepted. You should do a program like EPGY because you have a genuine interest in the class you would take, not because you think it would give you a leg up in admission. </p>
