In the past 10 years, Stanford has had the following scholarship class sizes:
2008: 17
2009: 23
2010: 24
2011: 19
2012: 22
2013: 13
2014: 20
2015: 22
2016: 25
2017: 14
By my calculation, that's an average of almost 20 letters of intent per year. Stupac2 is correct in saying that, at face value, Stanford has a competitive disadvantage, but I think it's offset by the current staff's approach to recruiting.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
