The Stanford Dream, Made Possible
The grades are exceptional. The résumé is full. The test scores impress.
And yet, with Stanford’s acceptance rate below 4%, thousands of brilliant students — including many from India — are turned away each year. Not because they lacked ability, but because they didn’t stand out in the eyes of the admissions team. What separates those who get in from those who don’t? + A powerful personal story + Leadership that creates real impact + Purpose-driven, strategic extracurriculars + Essays and recommendations that leave a lasting impression + A carefully built, long-term admissions plan
