Stanford University broke another record - this year the school received 38,828 applications for students hoping to become Cardinals.

That’s up 6 percent from last year’s 36,632 application pool.
Just a fraction of those high school students will find acceptance letters in their mailboxes. On March 29, the school offered admission to 2,210 students. They have until May 1 to accept.
“The most exciting part of our review is the opportunity to consider the world’s most exceptional students,” said Richard Shaw, dean of admission and financial aid, in a news release. “The most daunting challenge is to select a relatively small number from among a most competitive and exceptional group of candidates.”

Shana Lynch is Managing Editor at the Business Journal. Her phone number is 408.299.1831.
