Stats on De Anza College transfers to Stanford?

I've heard that some community college students make it to Stanford, and I'm interested in the possibility from De Anza College. Does anyone know the statistics or likelihood of transferring from De Anza to Stanford? Any success stories?

Although specific statistics for students transferring from De Anza College to Stanford University aren't readily accessible, what is known is that the overall transfer acceptance rate for Stanford is quite low, hovering around 1-2%, which makes it extremely selective. This means only a handful of community college transfer students are admitted each cycle.

While these odds may seem discouraging, it doesn't mean it's impossible! Successful transfers typically have excellent academic records, demonstrate extracurricular involvement, and show a specific need or reason for wanting to transfer. Just as with first-time undergrad applicants, holistic aspects of your application such as essays and letters of recommendation can make a difference. Make sure you're carefully explaining why Stanford is the right school for you now, and how transferring will help you achieve your goals.

Remember to keep other options open too, and apply to multiple four-year schools as a transfer student. This can increase your chances of being accepted somewhere that will provide a great education and college experience. And keep in mind that there are a host of amazing universities out there besides Stanford, many of which might be great fits for you. Best of luck!
