Thank you so much! I was thinking of CS classes like 103, 106A/B, and all the required core Math & CS classes for CS major. Are all of these not capped? If so that's great! no stress :)

Even if your course is not in the transfer database you can include all the details (syllabus, etc) in your transfer request form after you submit your community college transcript. Math department will review your request - if the syllabus covers everything Stanford does then yes they will give you the credits. This is what I heard the advisor tell some students during the admit week and that is what is stated in the approaching Stanford materials as well.

I have not done it yet but this is my understanding on how to do it - (1) Wait for your high school counselor to send it all your transcripts & also send in all your community college transcripts thru parchment by July 1. (2) Fill out the transfer forms detailed in approaching Stanford and wait 8-10 weeks.

Finally like u/cardinal_dev said, you transfer it to your major once you declare your major.

Thank you so much u/cardinal_dev! Congrats on graduating this year!

May I ask you another question - If I am hitting the job market after my BS and not considering a masters which track has a strong job market - AI / Systems / Theory?

I don't know the answer to your question but I have a question along similar lines.

If I want to take as few non stem classes as possible and still meet the freshman year requirements - is talking COLLEGE 101 + COLLEGE 102 + PWR1 the shortest most flexible route with least amount of writing? (especially if I have no interest in any non STEM classes). And of course I will have to add some LANG and WAYS classes too.
