<p>I’m not too sure on how they told them, but probably the second, they just weren’t expecting it.</p>
<p>aznfishy, it seems they had enough for that year, just not any more. Based on the statistics from this page:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/34836-annual-admissions-statistics.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/34836-annual-admissions-statistics.html</a>
(Stanford Admissions Statistics)</p>
<p>1722 enrolled for the Class of 2011.</p>
<p>1648 enrolled for the Class of 2010.</p>
<p>1633 enrolled for the Class of 2009.</p>
<p>1648 enrolled for the Class of 2008.</p>
<p>So I don’t know exactly how much room they have, or how many usually attend, but 70 more arrived at Stanford this year than the last three years.</p>
