Art Student's chance at Stanford

<p>Background: Hi, I'm currently attending a diverse public school in California within the vicinity of Stanford and UC Berkeley. I come from a low income family and I'm ethnically mixed (Filipino/Iranian). Art is truly my foremost passion and I contribute hours of my day to express my intellectual curiosity visually as well as to refine my approach. To be honest, I was expecting a "5" on this AP exam and when I recieved the AP score for my AP Studio ART-Drawing exam I was blown away! Will this seriously hurt my chances of admission to Stanford? I completely disagree with my score for AP Art-Drawing because I truly feel that my art is accomplished technincally as well as conceptually. In other words, I don't think the AP Graders understood the profoundity of my art work and/or the precision of my skill....</p>
