Admission to Stanford University is highly competitive and involves a thorough application process. Applicants must submit the Common Application or Coalition Application, including essays, letters of recommendation, and high school transcripts. Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are optional but can be submitted if they strengthen the application.
Extracurricular achievements, leadership roles, and personal statements play a significant role in the selection process. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores. Deadlines vary for early action (November) and regular decision (January). Financial aid applications should be submitted concurrently if needed.
