<p>There is a section asking "Have you previously applied to Stanford?"</p>

<p>I applied to Stanford a few years ago - rejected. I am working full time in Middle East right now (and never attended a college yet). I am wondering why they are asking because I rather not know let them read my previous application.</p>

<p>Does why they are asking the question matter? I mean, if they count it against you, are you planning on lying about your previous rejection?</p>

<p>Well, I think you do not need to worry much. That you are applying to Stanford once again just shows the admission committee your strong interest in Stanford.</p>

<p>I doubt it would matter too much. Just answer the question truthfully…</p>
