Here are a few key areas of change for the Class of 2014, as revealed by the school:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The representation of international students increased to an all-time high of 42%, comprising 53 non-U.S. countries.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>U.S. minority representation reverted from last year's 20-year high of 27% to a more typical level of 20%. All types of diversity matter at Stanford. Our outreach efforts will continue to foster students whose unique perspectives will enhance our learning community.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The breadth of undergraduate study continues to dazzle us. This year, a few more engineers and humanities majors joined the MBA program, with a handful fewer students who studied business.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The industry mix changed slightly, but the absolute number both of schools, (especially non-U.S. institutions), and of organizations represented, reached an all-time high. Two-thirds of our new students are the sole person to come directly from that organization.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Work experience in the class increased slightly to 4.2 years from 4.0 years. This is a peak for the last decade.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The school attributes these shifts to the fact that the admissions process is about admitting individuals---not categories. Stanford is looking for outstanding individuals, and has welcomed exactly 398 of them this year after receiving 6,716 applications.<\/p>\n<p>Round 2 deadline is coming up on January 9, 2013.
