Admission Statistics

(as of July 2018)

It is impossible to quantify the breadth and depth of an incoming class to Stanford. We practice holistic admission, and admission statistics can only narrowly describe facets of a class rich in life experiences, perspectives, talents, and accomplishments. We provide these statistics as a snapshot of a Stanford class selected through a rigorous and thoughtful holistic review.
