<p>I'm currently a high school senior in Los Angeles, and I'm wondering what my chances of getting into a school like Stanford (my dream school) are. I was adopted at age 4, and my two moms were the first gay couple to adopt jointly in Orange County.</p>
<p>I was officially labeled as "developmentally challenged" as a small child, but because of my natural curiosity and love of learning I have a weighted GPA of 4.3, a 2180 on my SAT, and I've passed all of the AP tests I have taken (7). I'm currently ranked 3rd out of a graduating class of 666+ students.</p>
<p>More than that, I'm extremely involved in my community and I volunteer regularly, I'm on my school's A team for the Science Bowl, and I'm passionate about running. I've been in Track since 9th grade, Varsity since 10th, and I've helped lead my team to many wins. I'm a voracious reader and learner, and the two people I have interviewed with (from Harvey Mudd and MIT) have said that I'm exciting, interesting, and authentic.</p>
<p>And most of all, I'm passionate about life itself. Despite having had less than stellar experiences, I have an unbounded appreciation and love for all people, because of the ones that have been there for me.</p>
<p>If I am able to express this, along with my stats, do you think I have a chance of being accepted into Stanford? Thanks for your replies, in advance~</p>
