Stanford admits around 1700 students per year and has an acceptance rate under 5%. An acceptance to Stanford's freshmen class is extremely coveted, and they don't have a large number of them to play with. Stanford didn't want to commit so many preferred admissions slots to sports that skew upper middle class and white. The common belief is this a more significant consideration than "financial pressure."
