So about 40-50 non athletes have been enrolling for summer school the past 12 years ???

No idea, but if they want to do so and are admitted I would expect the University would have a hard time saying no given that they allow athletes to enroll early in summer classes. However, as I am sure you are aware lots of high school students actually attend Stanford and take classes that count for college credit during the summer even though they are not admitted to Stanford. So, in effect, the answer is yes, you can take classes during the summer before you actually start school. It may be a technicality whether you are doing so as an admitted student or a summer student.

There is also the issue that is faced by the athletes as well, namely that what is available in the summer is limited, and if you want to take a particular class it may not be offered or it may fill up before you can get in. That does happen, and then you are stuck with with you can get.

 

Actually, prospective freshmen (non-athletes) cannot take classes at Stanford during the summer before their freshman year. The only exceptions are those who choose to take part in special 4 week courses right before the school-year starts, and those are typically only open to FLI students.
