Applying to Stanford?
Prospective students do not apply to the School of Engineering; instead, undergraduates apply to the university, and graduates apply directly to a department.Undergraduates
All undergraduates apply to, and are admitted to, the university as a whole. Stanford believes strongly in the benefits of a broad-based education so students are encouraged to sample widely from the abundant array of course offerings, and are not required to declare a major until the beginning of junior year. Please visit undergraduate admissions for information on procedures and requirements.
Keep in mind, however, that before you declare an engineering major you'll need to have taken substantial amounts of mathematics, science, and fundamental engineering coursework. It's also a good idea to take a freshman seminar, to get a feel for what hands-on engineering work is like. For more information, please visit the prospective undergraduates pages.

The Class of 2011 started to arrive! With International Orientation as well as the Freshman Pre-Orientation Programs (FPOPs) beginning, hundreds of freshmen are all around campus.
Today, we saw Snively '11 from Oregon (and Snively's parents), Sara '11 from Massachusetts, Thilani '11 from Sri Lanka (and Thilani's mom), and Beebe '11 from Maryland. It was great to see everyone. Note to '11s: Ben, Bryan and I are generally around this week and next, though we're quite busy with meetings to prepare for the Class of 2012 (!), so don't be offended if we're not around when you stop by or don't have all that much time to chat.
So, just who are the MIT '11s? Here's the Class of 2011 Profile:
