"At the BBQ, I wish I'd asked Madeline Gates just when she decided to graduate early & try to get in Stanford. I understood her to indicate she really came for the grad school in statistics, but you have to figure she was thinking of trying to join this team, esp. since it was down a middle. (I'd also like to understand why she didn't talk to Hambly before her acceptance at Stanford. Maybe she knew she'd definitely be accepted.) While I'm glad she joined Stanford, I fear the grad transfer rule can be abused to benefit top teams at the expense of other teams."
My understanding from a video interview is that Gates had applied to grad school at UCLA and Michigan and wasn't accepted to either, Stanford was her 1st choice but last to notify her
