No current Stanford team players need to be accepted in a graduate school to stay a fifth year. They can stay and keep taking undergraduate classes, but many of them will try and get a graduate degree by applying to a graduate program at Stanford.

Are you sure this is true if the student has completed all necessary requirements for the BA?  At my university students get forcibly graduated to make room for the next class.  But I admit I don't know my alma mater's policy on this.

I presumed that Stanford, the most selective university in the world, would not deny a slot to an entering freshman to make room for a 5th year football player who has completed all degree requirements.  But I could be wrong.

I remember Mikaela Ruef waiting to get into her engineering program for her 5th year and I presumed the same consideration would pertain for football.

What about double and secondary majors? I would presume a student could have one major completed, then seek another, correct?
