Stanford University: The pros, the cons, and how to get in.

[@scottjackson163]

I graduated from Stanford in 1981. MA in Political Science. I didn’t experience any cons. Just a phenomenal place. Nothing else like it on the planet. I only wish I’d stayed for the PhD.

Could you make a video on applying to these prestigious institutions if you didn’t exactly preform the best in high school but a few years down the road you excelled at a related field that the institution offers. Per say I am a military linguist and want to go to university for that or aviation mechanic/pilot and go to university for aerospace engineering.

It sounds like you’d be a perfect candidate to transfer into a top university from a community college. Check out my video on how to transfer. In particular, Columbia has a College of General Studies that might be excellent for you.

So what you're saying is there's no hope for us humanities nerds😢

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

Well, Stanford does have an excellent Psychology Dept, as well as Economics, and Writing. But it's primarily known for engineering, computer science, entrepreneurship. But yes -- they want standout humanities applicants too.

Is Stanford helping someone who created difference from him family and folk, for instance I’m the first person of my family and graduate from High school and the first person Of my village graduated from university and travel multiple countries speak multiple languages, for now I’m trying to get in a university of US and start my major undergraduate again, if I could do that I want to go to the end and be a professor, it’ll be a good inspiration story of my family and ppl, like I said

Possibly. There are a lot of universities that could be interested in you. It really depends on the strength of your entire application.

Do Stanford university offer ECONOMICS?

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

Of course. While Stanford doesn't have an undergraduate business program, it has a terrific economics department for anyone who wants to explore a career in business.
