What do you think got you into Stanford?

I would like to know to see how unique your applications were when getting accepted to the school. Be as free as you can when talking about how you got in. (No need to be formal you can be as extravagant and free as you want.)

If you look at the REA/RD results threads there’s a section about why you think you got accepted/rejected/deferred/waitlisted so that might be a good place to start

I applied regular decision and madea video about why I think I got in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T4cjJYbIng

Sustanford2020. Your youtube video has some very good advice and is extremely well presented.

Here is a spoof video containing sarcasm that makes some points in the first minute about how many posters on CC are always looking to “game” the system when applying to any “elite” school. When I applied to Stanford ten years ago, I didn’t know anything about CC and almost nothing about admit rate, yield, ubiquitous acronyms used on this forum, etc.
