The Campus Plan. In 1876, Leland Stanford purchased 650 acres of what had been El Rancho San Francisquito for a country home and began the development of his Palo Alto Stock Farm for trotting horses.
At the same time, keep in mind that Stanford has holistic admissions -- the admissions officers will be looking for students who will bring more than good grades and standardized test scores to their campus.
