Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Just as a disclaimer, I already know that my objective stats are on par with many Stanford applicants and that my being AA will help in admissions. I just need my nerves calmed a little lol since I know there's nothing more to do than make my essays perfect.. </p>

<p>Scores:
SAT- 780/770/800(M/Cr/W), 2350 superscore
ACT- 35
GPA- 4.0 UW
Rank- 1/>750, average public school (plenty of GA tech acceptances every year, a few Cornell/MIT/etc.)
SAT II- World History (800), Spanish (800), Math II (740), Bio (740)
AP- Bio (5), Calc BC (5), Euro History (5), Human Geography (5), Physics c (5), Spanish Lang (5), World History (5)</p>

<p>Senior Courseload:
Calc II & III (through GA Tech, so dual enrollment sorta), AP Macroecon, AP Lang, AP Environmental (lol), AP Gov, Internship (with Latin American Association)</p>

<p>Awards: nothing notable... probably National Merit Semifinalist by time of application, AP Scholar with Distinction</p>

<p>ECs (weak, i know. I don't really want to elaborate much on these, but note that I devote MAJOR time to the first two):
-National Spanish Honor society (President, 3 years)
-Habitat for Humanity (President, 3 years)
-Mu Alpha Theta (2 years)
-National Honor Society (1 year)
-Senior Cabinet (1 year)
-Junior Cabinet (1 year)
-History Club (1 year), just for fun
-hundreds of volunteer hours</p>

<p>Summers (lol nothing):
-volunteering at animal shelter (serious hours though)
-HOBY (I don't know where to put this haha)
-self-teaching catalan
-tutoring spanish-speakers in english</p>

<p>Other:
-African-American
-female
-intended major: IR/Econ or Iberian studies/IR
-Location: GA
-income: <60,000</p>

<p>I'll also be applying to Columbia, Georgetown, Duke, UGA (ea), GA Tech, Rice (application waiver ayyeee), and maybe Harvard if I'm feeling risky</p>

<p>Just like with any ivy league/top tier school, you never know.
However with your stats you have a very good chance of getting in. Being an URM definitely helps your case. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>I think you would be a great applicant!</p>

4

<p>I think you have quite a solid chance, especially since you have AA behind you. Perfect those Essays + Recs and you’re a shoe in :)</p>

5

<p>You are guaranteed an acceptance at a good school (because of your very good academics). Yeah, ECs are a little weak, but your academics make up for them as an AA applicant. Because of the weak ECs, can’t say if stanford is the one, it could be.</p>

<p>Black female with a 2350 SAT? 90%+ chances of admission to Stanford SCEA, so long as your teachers don’t hate you and your essays are OK.</p>

<p>Have fun in Palo Alto - it’s a beautiful area.</p>
