Stanford offered admission to 2,427 of the 34,348 high school students who applied to become members of the Class of 2015.
This implies an admission rate of nearly 7.1%, slightly lower than 7.2% last year.
“Stanford has been exceedingly fortunate to attract a simply amazing group of applicants from all over the world,” Dean of Admission Richard Shaw told to The Stanford Report. “In our review, we were humbled by the exceptional accomplishments of those candidates who have been admitted, as well as the competitive strength of all of the applicants.”
Among the admitted students, 754 had applied through the early action program and received an offer of admission in December.
According to the Office of Undergraduate Admission, an additional 1,078 applicants have been placed on the waitlist and will hear from Stanford, pending matriculation results.
