Stanford University has announced that it will no longer publish their the number of applications they receive each year, but will it make a difference to students and parents? On one hand, I appreciate that they are trying to decrease the fascination and frenzy surrounding single digit admit rates, yet on the other hand, the information will still be out there. Still, I applaud them for their efforts and hope that more schools will consider finding ways to dial back the pressure.
That said, if you are a data-driven sort of person like I am, you can search for college statistics at the National Center for Education Statistics. They may help inform you as you go through the college search process, but I would also strongly recommend you speak with your college counselor in order to get a better understanding of how your high school fares at different colleges and universities.
