Stanford sticks with legacy admissions

His admission policies for the decline of Stanford University 2026 will consider legacy status, a decision that can affect access to one of the most important talent of Silicon Valley. Stanford is also completing its test-deficit policy, requiring a SAT or Act score for the first time after 2021.
