The skeleton, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other components of joints make up the musculoskeletal system. The skeleton provides strength, stability, and a frame for muscles to work against in producing movement. Bones also serve as shields to protect delicate internal organs.
Stanford University, which has a nonbinding early-action process, accepted 10.2% of its early applicants, or 743 students, according to the Stanford Daily. That's a 0.6% decrease from last year's early-admission rate. MIT accepted 625 of its 6519 early-decision applicants for a 9.6% acceptance rate.
As this graph of rejection data reveals, the upper corner of the graphâstudents with straight A averages and excellent standardized test scoresâare frequently rejected by Stanford. As a school with a 5% acceptance rate and a very high admissions bar, Stanford is going to reject plenty of valedictorians and academic all-stars. Assuming you have A grades and high test scores, the admissions decision is going to come down to other factors.
