<p>It's certainly reasonable for Stanford to be on your list. Talk to your GC and ask to see scattergrams of admissions to Stanford (and other schools of interest) by SAT and GPA. This will give you a better feel for how Stanford views your school and class rank.</p>

<p>What was your 7th grade SAT? </p>
