<p>Hey
i'm an indian living in delhi. A guy from my school got accepted into Stanford( 1460/ 2210) I was wondering whether Stanford has quotas from particuar schools. I mean whether they take more than one sudent from the same school. Keep in mind that i'm an international student so if any one has any answere </p>
<p>Please Reply</p>

<p>Stanford only cares how much $$$ you have.... (ask hello)</p>
<p>I doubt there are any quotas.
btw i saw ur stats and if you are not applying for aid then IMO you're in!!</p>
<p>You friend didnt apply for aid, right??</p>
<p>stanford doesn't care that much about $, i applied and said i'd pay for everything, still got rejected!!! but my stats were low, 1400 (800M) no SAT IIs and only a 4.1. but over 600hrs of ECs each year. and rec. from university prof. from my city</p>
<p>The only quota they have is that they can accept only 40 intls a year with financial aid.</p>
<p>NO SAT II's is a big drawback.</p>
<p>What I mean is that, if you dont apply for fin aid and have decent stats Stanford is MUCH EASIER to get into than HYPM</p>
<p>no! no SAT IIs is a draw back, but chan (other poster) had great SAT IIs and Is and GPA and rank and recs. and award and was willing to pay $ also didn't get in!</p>
<p>I agree with hello, if you had a 1450 or above ready to pay full cost and had a high SAT scores your chancs would have been lot beter. A friend of mine in Delhi, applied to carnegie mellon with 1360 SAT, 70 % in 11 no aid and got accepted.</p>
<p>well cuz that carnegie mellon...</p>
<p>and Carnegie Mellon offers no aid to intls.</p>
<p>Thanks guys for the replies.
No my friend didnt apply for aid. He had a 1460 and a 2210. his ecs wernt too great. im just a little apprehensive that since hes got in they would inore the application. Probably i'm paranoid but ........ u never know
Anyway thanks 4 the replies . what was the fuss about the sat 2. and no im not applying for fin aid.</p>
<p>any more views on the subject??</p>
<p>anyone...............????</p>
<p>hmm okay hendrixfan...everyone told me stanford ws seriously stingy wit aid n i wud get rejected simply becuz i was askin 4 soo much..but i gave it a shot anyway, and i got in (with aid) !! nothin to spectacular about me btw...regular ec's, 1430 SAT I, no SAT IIs, seriously inclined towrds the arts, lots of social work, brilliant recs i think (my techers really like me :p) and thats all...</p>
<p>hey salsa have u heard about Stanford taking more than one person from the same school. Congratulations about getting in.
Does having a brother from Stanford help?</p>
<p>How does the $$$ factor help getting into stanford? Don't you just to have to put the amount equal or more than what's needed to cover all tuition+accomodation expenses on the application form - does this mean that you have $$$$?</p>

Only if you're not applying for aid. Not if you're applying for it.......</p>
<p>Does it make a difference/influence a decision for a student who didn't apply for fin aid putting a much larger figure in that box as opposed to another student who puts equal or a slightly higher amount than the required?</p>
<p>nope it doesnt.I specifically asked stanford that question</p>
<p>about qoutas: stanford took in two of us from my school...and we both got as much aid as we asked for (which was, btw alot..) dunno abt havin a brother there..i guess if hes outstanding and has made an excellent impression on the faculty it mite help</p>
