Stanford doesn't decide by major
They only recommend you indicate prospective majors, but when you are applying to Stanford you are applying to the entire college as a whole.

it can be
like they dont admit by major
but
its not like
theyre gonna accept majority cs
or bme
clever grove
Yeah but the field isn't going to be more competitive as it already would be. @dim badge yeah? In my head that makes sense lmao
Since you are applying to Stanford as a whole not by major the field is going to be the same level of competitiveness if you're a CS or a BME

Since you are applying to Stanford as a whole not by major the field is going to...

you might be benefited from being a poetry major or something

heres the one advice ill have for stanford
start thinking about
"why do i wanna help underrepresented populations"
the why question is going to be what differentiates stanford from other schools
worldly pagoda
oh it’s cuz of my background personally

I’d REA somewhere tbf it’s worth

calm condor
What is the one thing that is most important for college applicants for standard
personality (ur expected to already have amazing ec's and academics so personality and uniqueness)
basically if they think ur going to make big changes
or actually contribute
admission officer once said "We accept people who we think is going to be famous"
ofc that is exaggerated but yeah

calm condor
ohh
.-. interesting how the two schools differ
mit looks at personality and stanford looks at your impact :D

Why all the .-.
calm condor
I personally think MIT looks at both
