<p>So I want to apply for ED Stanford but really do not know much about Stanford... What do you have to do to know well enough about the college so that you can write about it in your essays? I have searhced through the website for 3 hours but I feel like I am just reading the general overview of the college, not the specifics about clubs, lecture series, extracurriculars, etc. Is my method of searching wrong? Are there books that you can buy to learn more about Stanford? It is too late to visit the college but I really want to learn about details so I can write about them in my essays. Give me some advice! Should I try to contact some people who attend Stanford?</p>
<ol>
<li>It’s SCEA, not ED</li>
<li>I know 100% for sure this has been thoroughly discussed on many other threads, use the search tool. Don’t contact people who attend Stanford unless you actually know them.</li>
</ol>
<p>Why do you want to go there if you don’t know anything about the school?</p>
