Is stanford university a good school?

Question

I'm looking into going into the olympics and i wanted to know if stanford is a good school academically as well as athletically.

Answer 1

If you're at a level where you could qualify for the Olympics, Stanford would already be trying to recruit you. It's a fantastic university for academics and many (but not all sports) buut it's not like the Stanford name is going to get you into the Olympics.

Answer 2

Answer 3

From what I heard, it's a pretty good school..just a little expensive D:

Answer 4

It's an excellent school and has good athletics program (and is world-reknown in swimming) but not in all sports.  You don't "go into the Olympics" -- you train for years and years, enter national and international meets, and then compete in Olympic Trials for a spot on the US team in your sport.  Millions of people swim, for instance, and only a few dozen are Olympic-worthy.
