Stanford University is surely one of the toughest universities to get into as it has just an acceptance rate of 3.61% which means only 3 students can get into the university out of hundreds, hence it could be difficult for an average or an average student to get into LSE.

However, it's not impossible as the basic requirements the university needs are given below - 

  • GPA of 3.5 or above from an accredited university
  • A good ELP score also Stanford takes a holistic approach and doesn't just consider marks but sees multiple factors in the student's profile.
