Hey guys! I'm an out-of-state applicant and I'm really interested in Stanford. I was just wondering if their acceptance rate is any different for in-state vs. out-of-state applicants. Does anyone have any info on this?
Hey there! Stanford University is a private institution, which means that their admissions process does not discriminate based on residency. Acceptance rates for in-state and out-of-state applicants are the same. Stanford focuses on evaluating candidates based on academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities via a holistic review, rather than considering the residency of the applicant. So, don't worry about being out-of-state—it won't negatively impact your chances of admission. Good luck with your application!
