Frequently Asked Questions for College Counseling

How do colleges learn about Stanford OHS?
Show Hide

Each fall, we host admissions officers from a variety of colleges and universities to visit with Stanford OHS students. In addition to these visits, we are regularly in touch with admissions offices to answer any questions that arise and ensure that they have the materials and information they need in order to understand Stanford OHS.

At the time of application, we compile a comprehensive school report for each Stanford OHS graduate, which provides a clear narrative of the student’s academic path, how the student has engaged with our school, how it has benefited them, and the ways in which it has made them a strong candidate for admission. Beyond the narrative letter written on behalf of each student, we provide general information about Stanford OHS academics in the School Profile.

Does attending Stanford OHS increase a student’s likelihood of admission to Stanford University?
Show Hide

Colleges and universities (including Stanford University) are familiar with the academic demands of Stanford Online High School. However, the fact that a student has attended or graduated from Stanford OHS is not in and of itself a predictor of any college admissions outcome. Further, Stanford OHS is not a ‘feeder school’ to Stanford University.

Stanford University does not consider “demonstrated interest” in making admission decisions. This means that actions such as visiting campus, calling or emailing admissions staff, or attending Stanford OHS will not increase a student’s likelihood of admission to the university.

Graduates who succeed at Stanford OHS achieve college placement at a wide range of colleges and universities around the world. For a comprehensive list, please refer to our list of college acceptances and matriculations.
