<p>Looks like a good start for a sophomore. Remember, the thicker the paper, the thicker the student. </p>

<p>Also, it is best to be involved in a club/activity that you been in for a while or changed in a way. (Leadership) </p>

<p>So if somehow you could show leadership in each of your club and passion for it, you should be a good shot toward stanford.</p>
