<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>
<p>start with the viewbook - highlight things you find interesting- then go to the website and search them more in depth.</p>
<p>Hmmm…well why do you want to go to Stanford? </p>
<p>My son just wrote about some of the things he observed on the campus tour.</p>
<p>visit Stanford’s website? that’s the easist…I did that for my essay</p>
