<p>@rhgsacsluv101. You will be a very competitive applicant. Start getting hints about what Stanford admissions is looking for on their website…this Stanford forum has many “insightful” threads if you read it carefully…</p>

<p>…start thinking about your essays, the CA main one along with 3 important ones from Stanford’s supplementary questions…you don’t have to start writing now…but you can start looking at the big picture…</p>

<p>…start thinking about getting the best recommendations possible from teachers that really KNOW you…</p>

<p>…and frankly, without ever getting to read the ENTIRE application with the ESSAYS and RECOMMENDATIONS…one’s socioeconomic status, strength of high school…no one can truly chance anyone…</p>

<p>…hope this helps.</p>

<p>You seem like a really really really competitive applicant, especially if you can put together great essays.</p>
