It's my understanding that if you're "just" a regular student, there are really no guarantees for Stanford admission, regardless of what your numbers are. A friend of mine who's an older Stanford alum recently described admission as "being hit by lightning," and I think that's pretty accurate.
But if you're a player that the football team is recruiting, I think it's more about meeting certain requirements. If your test scores and transcript and application indicate that you can handle the academics, you're in. I can't imagine that a recruited football player with an ACT score of 35 (which puts him in the top 1%) has ever been denied admission to any school in America, not even Stanford.

Please clear the field! The game is not over!
