Hey all, I’m curious about how tough the competition is for Stanford University. Does anyone know the current admission rate? I’m trying to manage my expectations a bit.
Stanford University is known for its highly competitive admissions process. As of the most recent data available for the 2024-2025 application cycle, Stanford's acceptance rate is 4.4%. This means that for every 100 applications, only around 4 are accepted. However, don't be entirely discouraged by this low rate. Each application is evaluated on its own merit and the holistic nature of Stanford’s review process looks at more than just grades and test scores. Keep in mind, it's also important to factor in factors such as grades, extracurricular activities, and your personal statement. Good luck!
