What are the chances of getting an exemption for Stanford law school? I imagine Ministry of Law would be aware of Stanford's reputation and prestige, no?
Stanford and Yale are automatic exemptions. I rejected Harvard for Yale and did not have an issue getting exempted.

This is a bad place to ask this question because salty locals here will try and tell you otherwise. Do not fall for that. Stanford brutally mogs NUS/SMU onto another plane of existence. Very difficult for singaporeans to hide their inferiority complex in the face of an objectively greater human.
