2

<p>Stanford doesn't give interviews...</p>

3

<p>this is the first year any applicants will get an interview so I doubt anyone can tell you.</p>

4

They're starting a pilot program this year. I'll be looking forward to 15+ years later when I get to interview you anxious hopefuls.</p>

<p>"For the 2008-09 admission season the Office of Undergraduate Admission will offer an optional alumni interview to applicants attending high school in Atlanta, Denver, London, New York City, Philadelphia and Portland."</p>

<p>You guys should really explain your questions before you post. I almost threw up thinking about an interview! jk</p>

<p>yes, we Californians are safe!</p>

<p>isn't that kind of weird though? Seeing as how Stanford IS located in California?...
haha</p>

<p>actually its probably because stanford is in cali and receives so many cali applicants that its not in the pilot program! I think something like half of all applicants are from cali!</p>

<p>PS: I apologize for not being more specific in my post. I didn't want to give anyone a heart attack ;)</p>

<p>^^ Dean Shaw actually said that the % applicants from California has been dropping and is somewhere in the 30s now.</p>

<p>oh wow well I guess his efforts have really been paying off. I'm impressed!</p>

In terms of geographic distribution a slide illustrated the home state of the applicants by region over the last 3 years. California as a source of applicants declined from 41 to 35%. All of the other regions were less than 10%, except for the South, steady at 14-15%, and mid-Atlantic, up from 10.4% to 11.9%.

<p>This might be a stupid question, but here it goes anyway. Since more than 30% of apps are from California, and other regions are about 10%, does this mean that someone from NY or Pennsylvania for example has 3 times as high of a chance of getting in than a Californian?</p>

<p>No... search the forum for "geography." It really doesn't help much.</p>
