Stanford does use the quarter system (10 week classes instead of 15), and it's notoriously asskicking for grad students who were on a semester system as undergrads.
Yep, I was pretty confused when I saw the quarters thingy on their website. Out here we have semesters. But then again my brother has "trimesters" at his college, making him sound perpetually pregnant so I refuse to be amazed now.
Ooh, thanks for the terminology. :D I will remember that. We just say it the Harry Potter way out here "first year" and "second year" and so on with a more complicated system for med students that goes like, "First year, second (I), Second (II), Third (I) and Third (II)". That, plus internship makes undergrad for med school 5.5 years long. So while all my friends from my class were in third year, I was still in my eighteen-month-long "second" year. And it'd be all "but WHY are you still in your second year?"
Stanford definitely uses quarters according to its website. Which I see, seems to be a bad, bad thing. Yeah, the Stanford website says they give admission deferrals in special cases so this should be a special case, right?
It's very unlikely he would get home assignments to make up work he missed. He would probably need to return to campus and retake the work he missed in a classroom setting.Ahhh, poor guy's gonna be stressed af

As to the scholarship, do you mean he'll get to hang on to it throughout law school as well? Because that isn't accurate. Even though he'd be going to the same university, financial aid and scholarships are completely separate.
Also, I saw you mention below about dates of acceptance to law school. Most (if not all) schools have a "rolling admission" which means that people are often accepted as they apply, not just after the admission deadline. So, I got my first acceptance mid-October of my senior year of college.
No, not for law school, just undergrad. I'm completing the story timeline before he gets to law school so I'm not about to worry about his financial situation for that one.
Stanford apparently has a window for their applications from what I gather, but I'll look into the rolling admission thing.
