<p>Um, the Idaho thing might be important, but then remember that they know it's about 800 times easier to stand out there than say, CA or NY. You didn't list your SATs, but I would say if you have a 2250 or above you stand a shot. Both schools combined only admit 18% though, and everyone applying is at least as smart as you, so make sure your essays are original and perfect. Good luck!</p>

<p>no one's harvard bound.</p>

4

<p>being out of CA will make stanford harder in my opinion....</p>

5

<p>No, you are not Harvard bound.</p>

<p>Gotta do something about that SAT writing score.</p>

<p>Where are your four years of foreign language?</p>

<p>Your ECs are underwhelming.</p>

<p>Your courses are pretty standard.</p>

6

<p>^ You're a moron.</p>

7

<p>i think you would be really competitive but nothing is ever guaranteed</p>

<p>being from Idaho would help imo</p>

8

<p>Probably not, from an Idaho high school they want the val, mayber number 2. But your rank and scores don't make you competitive. I would focus on Penn or Cornell and apply to one ED for your best bet.</p>
