Some experts mentioned that Stanford EA would mainly focus on “special kids” like Olympic sports players, big donor’s child, alumni child etc., so its relatively high acceptance rate is misleading. Also Stanford tends to not “defer” many applicants. I am wondering if I should apply for Stanford during EA or RD. Any advice is appreciated.
