<p>As one of Stanford's biggest fans (well along with all of my friends... and aquaintances, from ME/CE/EE/CS majors all the way down to us lonely drama majors- actually the drama kids might be the least happy of all stanford programs given a lack of space and funding, but hey as one of them i bring the average up), I have never once looked to review Stanford anywhere, nor have I ever looked for Stanford review sites (with the exception of this site- which is a review in a way). I have no need to explain why Stanford is awesome- if people don't believe it then they shouldn't come here anyway.</p>
<p>Also, relating to the OP's post from an undergrad point of view, the EE program is one of the harder programs to do well in... which is why the curve is so high.</p>
