All I can tell you now is that if you haven't been on the high road towards success already, good luck, you'll need it.
Stanford is one of the best universities in the world, and one of the hardest to get into. It has few drawbacks. In my opinion, the only drawbacks are that it is in California (which some people consider a plus) and red is its school color (I don’t look good in red).
Good Luck!!!
