Thanks oldalum.  You reinforce my thoughts and experience.  As for aiming for lower acceptance rates, it's just part of the long time organizational concept of "building the brand."  That being conceded, Stanford is very much more than a "brand."  Hopefully, the Admissions Office and the higher powers that be understand that.  I'm not yet sure that this is true.

PS--I am very pleased to see that our new Prexy (Hyphen-Lavigne) seems to get the beauty of the Band.  Maybe there is hope for our beloved LSJU.
