Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was ... it was ...sigh ...
I really have no explanation for why I watch it, but I tend to. They're taking the "cop delivering justice on his own" thing to an extreme.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The only reason I could think of is fewer early admission slots maybe?

They should have had her apply to UCLA, then it would be believable, since it's a bit easier to get into Stanford than UCLA. But if IIRC UCLA doesn't do early admin any more.

Huh? The acceptance rate at Stanford is 7%; at UCLA it is 23%.

bon bon, but is it 23% for out of state?

I mean, leaving aside special cases like Deep Springs, only Harvard is harder to get into. If you want a non canon reason why she would be rejected, schools sometimes have a cap on admits from certain private schools.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Thanks, bon, that threw me too.
But if you want an in show reason. Given why she picked Stanford, and how she was planning all classes based on her BF, that quite likely came across in the essay.
