<p>Sure, you “can” get into Stanford. It’s definitely possible, though neither you nor I can say with precision what your exact chances of actually getting in are. What I can tell you is that your stats are academically competitive for Stanford. The problem is that 80% of the people who apply to Stanford have competitive academics stats. At this point, you have to give the admission committee a compelling reason to take you, especially since you’re international. If you apply for financial aid as an international student, then that will decrease your chances even more. The way to distinguish yourself now is through extracurricular activities and essays. You need to do what you love outside the classroom and try to develop a passion for it. The Stanford admission office seems to like genuinely passionate people, not people who seem to be doing things just to get into college. And when you finally sit down to write your essays, focus not on getting in but rather on representing yourself authentically. Discuss something that matters to you in a writing style that reflects your own voice.</p>
