<p>I met Shaw as he came to visit our school for the information session.. I recall him as a pretty funny/flippant guy haha. I came in late so I didn't know who he was; he seemed nonchalant and kind of uninformed so I assumed he was some alumni dude. Big suprise at the end when he repeated his name as Shaw, good times.
I remember him actually commenting during the speech (and this was before I knew it was him, so I wasn't suprised or anything) that the whole thing was pretty random, and that ultimately he didn't know exactly how it worked (?!). He also made fun of Yale for a couple of minutes, it was pretty funny.
Anecdotes aside.. (and alliteration as well.. ok I'll stop).
I don't know how Stanf. admissions could get more random than they are. But based on people I know who have/have not gotten into Yale the past couple years and my meeting with him, if there is some way to do such, he probably will.</p>
