<p>Does Applying Early means not being able to apply again?</p>

<p>ie. if you get rejected..then you wont be able to be considered for regular decision?</p>

<p>is this right?</p>

<p>and if this is the case, looking at my stats, should i apply early or wait till regular?</p>

<p>also if i have a 34 ACT (36 science) and a 2060 in SAT should i only send the ACT? will it look bad if it seems like i didnt take the SAT?</p>

<p>finally if i took a physics class over the summer at a community college but got a B, should i include it with my application?</p>

<p>i have straight A's and im trying to major in engineering so if i submit my lowest grade which is in physics will it look bad?</p>

<p>sorry if im sounding superficial i dont mean it to be that way.</p>

<p>my SAT scores are kind of low compared to everyone else i see, so check out my stats profile if you can and tell me if i have a chance?</p>

<p>thanks for your time :P</p>

<p>lemme know if you think theres something i should work on</p>

<p>also i heard that theres an interview required? this true?</p>

<p>No interview required. Send only your ACT and forget about your SAT. See if your school is willing to include the physics on your transcript without a grade and as a pass/fail since it was done outside of your school.</p>

<p>Stanford doesn’t care if you take the ACT or the SAT so sending just the ACT is fine.</p>

<p>If you get rejected early you cannot apply to Stanford until the following year, so no you can’t apply again RD.</p>

<p>If you application is as strong as its going to get and stanford is your #1 choice, then apply early, otherwise wait.</p>

<p>if you think u have a chance of bringing ur grades and test scores up, wait on it</p>

<p>u must have a transcript sent from the community college. not sending counts as omitting required information.</p>
