    You're paying 50k+ a year. It seems rough at first, but as you realize how much is offered and what the resulting professional potential of the education is, one gets over it quite quickly. Between the networks formed, the knowledge retained and the fun time while doing it all, it's all well worth it.

    Whether or not you do exceptionally well after getting in, you will (assuming that you graduate) end up with a highly-respected Stanford degree. You will emerge a more intellectual, well-rounded person with a greater awareness of the world, and most will go on to be leaders in their fields.
