Under sunny skies, the bright smiles of prospective members of the Class of 2020 shone throughout campus during Admit Weekend 2016. The “ProFros,” as they are affectionately known, have until May 2 to decide whether they will accept Stanford’s offer of admission. The weekend offers prospective students and family members a chance to explore academic and residential programs through a variety of activities that showcase Stanford’s breadth and depth. University photographer Linda Cicero captured some of the action for a slideshow.
