There are countless students who start college and almost immediately think, "I could be doing more." Sometimes, they haven’t even started yet.
Stanford is one of the most iconic universities in the world. While it doesn’t have the long history of the Ivy League institutions back east, Stanford has firmly cemented its position at the top of the academic and cultural pack. In the 2024-2025 application cycle, Stanford received 60,646 applications and admitted only 2,302. The acceptance rate was only 3.8%. The university has not published the acceptance rate for the Class of 2030, but we expect it to be about 3% when it finally comes out.
