Private research university in California known for its seven schools, need-blind undergraduate admission and leadership in engineering, business and the sciences.

Stanford University is a private research university founded in 1885 by Leland and Jane Stanford in the heart of California's San Francisco Bay Area. Its expansive campus sits about 30 miles south of San Francisco, close to the technology hub of Silicon Valley.

Stanford educates students across seven schools spanning engineering, humanities and sciences, business, law, medicine, education and sustainability. Undergraduate admission is need-blind for U.S. applicants, and the university meets demonstrated financial need for admitted students.

The Office of Undergraduate Admission is based at Montag Hall, 355 Galvez Street, and welcomes prospective students and families for campus tours and information sessions. Applicants can find requirements, deadlines and virtual events on the official admission pages at stanford.edu.
