Can I get into Stanford?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I will have a 3.9 for my sophomore, junior and senior years.
I read on the Stanford website that they don't look at Freshman grades, but I had a 3.5 GPA then.
National Honors Society
African American
I've played classical guitar for 7 years and I just started playing piano.
I do band and chorus and I will do those for all 4 years
I work at an arts camp during the summer where I teach kids how to do those things. ^
I go to a tough private school (but no one knows about it, so idk how Stanford will take that into consideration).
Assume that I get a 33/2200 on the ACT/Sat
120 hours of community service at Second Harvest and Children's hospital
I'm also in a program that tries to better our city (don't want to say the name because it has to location in it, but it's supposed to be prestigious).
AP Bio, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Spanish, AP Calculus, AP US History, AP (History after US) and AP English (the one during junior year). Just assume that I get a 5 on all those exams...
I was vice president of 9th grade, and assume that I will be student council president as a senior.
Mathletes (3 years)... I'm also going to go to the state math competition
Science Olympiad (2 years)</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are assuming I write a good essay and get good teacher recommendations? </p>

<p>GPA is not low (3.9 is almost perfect). Friends who go to Stanford had 3.5+</p>

<p>@livyluhu it 3.9 is unweighted then it is low. If its weighted of 4 then its supurb. Thats why I had (UW).</p>

5

<p>…I think you have unweighted and weighted confused?</p>

6

<p>you mean weighted it’s low…unweighted high</p>

7

<p>Sorry guys… my gpa is UNWEIGHTED (meaning out of 4). Forgot to add that… haha if I had a 3.9 WEIGHTED, then I wouldn’t even be CONSIDERING Stanford. Hahaha</p>

<p>It’s not about the 3.9. It’s about the rest of the story. </p>

<p>Oh ok you have a good chance with that GPA. Bring your ACT up though at least a 30</p>

<p>It’s not all about stats. Go read the S website.</p>
