 Can somebody tell me about Stanford's business school and how it ranks nationally?

It's been #1 in the past (and very hard to get into), but the 2023 USeless NEWS ranking has us tied for third. UCLA #17, USC #19. FWIW

Correct.  Unless things have changed a lot, it is hard for me to imagine Stanford Business school admitting anyone who had enough time on her hands to play basketball.  They tend to enroll youngish high achievers in the business world who want to be higher achievers.  Very few admits come straight from undergrad.
