<p>Lol, I should say, "high" in comparison to previous years. Usually it's ~2%, but for 2011, it was 4%. I guess a low retention rate for the freshman and sophomore classes due to the financial climate we're in?</p>

<p>Going from two to four percent is not a significant change at all. This is dumb.</p>

<p>It could be as imple as having an oversubscribed class graduate.</p>

Stanford is a private institution therefore state residency is irrelevant for tuition purposes.</p>
