At Stanford University, transfer students tend to graduate with the highescampus resources more, and represent a vocal group of active students.

<p>I would say that this trend is prevelant at many top schools. It is quite surprising, to be sure, and quite encouraging for those having doubts about whether they can parallel their performance at a more rigorous institution. I know I had such doubts.</p>

<p>Well, that isn't surprising. Things could have changed in the last few years, such that the policies of the admissions office at Stanford were also affected. Many schools are now preferring to avoid making definitive statements about their admissions process, because it leads to applicants' thinking that there is a formula for admissions and a very troublesome overall attitude toward admissions at top schools.</p>
