<p>If you are not US citizen, your chances will depend on your need for fin. aid as well as grades/scores/other stuff.</p>

<p>Luckily for you, fresman year does not count at Stanford. You need to take SAT I and SAT IIs. </p>

<p>Being black might help you, but it will not get you in.</p>

<p>exactly. being black doesn't hurt you by any means (except if you get in then ignorant people will think you only got in b/c you're black), but it's not like stanford admissions is gonna be like "oh...she's BLACK...IN!"</p>

<p>but you're on the right track. good luck.</p>
