Declining Economy, Declining Admittance Rates...


Just got this from the latest Stanford monthly newsletter to alumni:

"Stanford has received 30,349 applications for undergraduate admission to the Class of 2013, a 20 percent increase over last year's total and an all-time high."

As applicants go up, admittance rates have been dropping significantly. The latest from Stanford's admissions office indicates that this year will be around 7.2%. Wow.

More than ever, admittance into a top university is more than just GPA and SATs. Applicants will need to stand out.

Think early, think big, think global ...
