I am a current sophomore at Stanford University so my comment is going to be biased :p
So far I love the Stanford atmosphere (I am a CS student). Is it competitive? Yes, but I have found that CS isn't as competitive as pre-med. I only have ok grades (3.0 GPA at the moment) but the classes themselves I am learning a lot in, so grades aren't too much of a concern to me.
As far as jobs, Stanford engineering does a very good job putting together career fairs. We have 2-3 a year, plus a start-up fair, and a nonprofit fair. I have accepted an internship for the summer so I think internship placement is fairly good.
Also Stanford has a very good financial aid program, how much are your parents making?
If you have any more questions about Stanford I will do my best to answer!
- delluminatus 17y agoI know Stanford's financial aid is excellent, but unfortunately we are basically making like $64,000 a year; just over the $60,000 limit for no parent contribution. =(
- msencenb 17y agoMy family makes about 100k a year and the parent contribution is only 17k (about the same I would have been paying for a state school). What I'm saying is that it's a graduated scale so even though you are over the 60k limit you won't be expected to pay much
