We know the coronavirus situation is creating unprecedented challenges for students and families throughout the world.
For those of you soon embarking on the college application process, we understand recent developments are adding stress, including exam cancellations and changes in spring semester grading.
See detailsPlease know we are committed to working with you and offering as much flexibility as possible. We want to reassure you that you will not be penalized or at a disadvantage in the review of your application.
Specifically, you will not be at a disadvantage if you are unable to submit AP or Subject Test scores (these scores are not required for Stanford’s application). Similarly, you will not be at a disadvantage if your school adopts a pass/fail grading policy.
One of our core values is to practice holistic admission, and we will continue to review all pieces in the application as an integrated whole, in the context of the unprecedented events we are living through now.
As the situation unfolds, we will continue to post updates as we have them. We are in this together, and we hope to navigate these difficult times with you and serve as a resource as you begin your college application journey.
Thank you for your interest in Stanford. Our application will encourage you to spend time reflecting on who you are and what is important to you. We approach the admission process with sincere respect for each individual applicant and look forward to learning about you through your application.
