<p>I don't think stanford counts your freshman grades toward your GPA</p>

<p>You're grades are definitely good enough to warrant you a shot, but your ECs seem a little on the weak side (I might be wrong)</p>

3

<p>Would it be worth it for me to try SCEA? Shall I ditch my efforts?</p>

4

<p>Do it if stanford is your first choice for sure. For the love of God, don't change your entire college plans because of ONE opinion!</p>

<p>Yeah, that 1st generation asian from alska is definitely going to be working overtime in your favor. <em>sigh</em> for the white, middle-class, with college educated parents. :(</p>
