<p>Hahaha. No one's that good. He's got a good shot, but no one has a 90% chance.</p>

<p>dude..no offense but this is like the 10th time I have seen your stats.</p>

<p>I guess I will post again for the fourth time though:
You have good chances everywhere.</p>

<p>^^Those posts were in other college threads though. It shouldn't count as multiple posts unless it is in the same thread or the same college section.</p>

<p>Can any of you Stanford students tell me about the weather at Stanford? I visited San Fran (it was rather lackluster) but I was there on a band trip so I did not go to Palo Alto or stanford and it was in May. Does it get really cold there? I am from Texas so it never snows and does not get really cold, so I want to go to a college that is cold and has snow. I know Stanford does not have snow, but does it get really cold?</p>

<p>not cold at Stanford, pretty good weather in general</p>

<p>If it weren't for irrigation, Stanford and Palo Alto would be in the middle of a desert.</p>
