Chance a Junior?

<p>I know I'm only a junior now and I've got a lot of time to go, but can you tell me if I'm on the right track for Stanford? I know that no one can give accurate chances for Stanford or any top school, but I'm just curious as to what you think</p>

<p>Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White
School: Private Catholic School in California</p>

<p>SAT 1: 2280 (800 Math, 800 Writing, 680 Critical Reading) - That was my first test. I'm going to retake it to improve my CR and hopefully get a good superscore
SAT 2: US History (760) Math 2 (800) - I also plan to take Physics next year
Ap's: I will take English and Calc BC this year, then English, Stats, Spanish, and Physics next year</p>

<p>GPA:
Unweighted: 3.97
Weighted: 4.74
Rank: My school doesn't rank, but I'm top 5% </p>

<p>Honors/awards:</p>

<p>Eagle Scout
Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do
Hopefully National Merit (I scored 223 on the PSAT, which is above last year's 219 cut-off for CA)</p>

<p>EC's:
Boy Scouts - I am an Eagle Scout and I served as Senior Patrol Leader for my troop for 6 months. My project was repairing and refurbishing furniture for the Ronald McDonald House
Founder and President of the Ronald McDonald House Club at my school - I started a club to keep helping the RMH. We make and deliver a meal to the RMH every month and we raise money for them
National Honors Society (11, and likely 12)
Spanish National Honors Society (11 and likely 12)
Co-Founder and vice-president of my school's Young Republicans club
Model United Nations (9, 10, 11, likely 12, and I have 8 Best Delegate/Gavel Awards)
Seceratary-General of MUN
Varsity Track and Field (9, 10, 11, likely 12)
Football (9, I'm not sure if I should even mention this)
Wrestling (10, I'm not sure if I should mention this either)
Orchestra (Violin, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, likely 12)
Link Crew (11, likely 12)</p>

<p>Community service:</p>

<p>Over 400 Hours with Boy Scouts (200 alone on my Eagle Scout Project)
Ronald McDonald House (over 100 hours)
NHS and SNHS Tutoring (more than 50)</p>

<p>Work Experience:
I served as a clerk at a law firm for the past 3 summers, and I will continue to do so next summer</p>

<p>Hooks: Nothing good :/</p>

<p>Other Notes: My school offers the IB program in addition to AP. I chose not to take IB, but I am taking the most rigorous classes offered with the exception of Philosophy, which is offered only to IB students. I don't know if this puts me at disadvantage. </p>

<p>I would appreciate any help or tips I could get. Thank you very much!</p>

<p>Your scores are great and your EC’s are good. My friends and cousin actually all got in with worse stats, but their essays were fantastic. Not that I’m the best person to ask, but…I think if you can deliver good essays, you will be set :slight_smile: or, rather…as set as you can be. The process is, unfortunately, unpredictable.</p>

<p>Thank you! Right, I understand that all of these top schools can be really random. I’m applying to a bunch of schools, so hopefully I’ll make one of them. I want to study engineering. What kind of stats did your cousin have?</p>
