This is always great news!

I suspect that the "former professional figure skater" is Rachel Flatt. She was the 2010 U.S. Women's Figure Skating Champion. Can anyone confirm this?

Interesting info. What a fortunate group; may they all have a wonderful experience at Stanford!

Loving that over half the transfer students are from Community Colleges. Let the folks who had to have A-G for all students digest that statistic. A Stanford degree at half the price and an unquantifiable decrease in pressure.

There were only 18 students admitted from Community Colleges. I suspect that there is a razor thin chance of attending Stanford using this route. So the above comment is either disingenuous or intended to be sarcasm.
