<p>Your wildlife-related activities sound good.</p>

<p>I am sure you can do better then 520 on math! It's the easiest score to improve! 520 is EXTREMELY low for Stanford...</p>

3

<p>Yes really your SAT math is pretty low try to raise it to increase your chances.</p>

4

<p>What the hell happened to pre-calculus?</p>

5

<p>whats CSF?</p>

<p>CSF is the California Scholarship Federation.</p>

<p>Our school has this too. You need to get a certain amount of points based on grades, and continue being qualified throughout the high school years.</p>
