Here's a Cardboard thread about Chou when she still had us on her list and we were discussing her:

http://thecardboard.org/board/showthread...ie+chou%22

It appears we were at least on her long list, because there are a half dozen threads from back in the day when various among us were talking about her as a possibility. All well. C.al would be a good landing spot for her - better than some of the other PAC-12 schools that are already going to be rough sledding for us!

We speculated about her here, and she had us on her long list for a while, but we could never confirm that we were seriously recruiting her.  There was a story which said she had "all As and Bs" in high school which is probably not good enough for Stanford, so my guess was that she and the coaches figured out that she would not make it in. 

That is what makes it so hard to read what happens--most people who would be "rejected" by admissions actually are not rejected because they never apply.  The coaches are pretty good at knowing who will make it in and who won't and will turn their attention to more likely prospects long before we fans know the reasons why.
