Today, I received an email (Good god, Stanford sent emails?!?) from Stanford saying they "would like to share with me" an entire80 page guide to Stanford. Out of all my friends out here in Wisconsin, I was the only one to receive this email--does it mean that Stanford is interested in me? I'm so excited!</p>

<p>Good luck everybody! I can't hardly wait to apply!</p>

<p>Wow hmm, I think Stanford has done a really nice job this year scouting. You seem very well qualified: great testing scores (holy snap, 800 lit 560 math?) only add to your powerful resume.</p>

<p>I think it’s amazing you follow through with your passion in such depth; not only do you take part in cooking competitions, but you also compete in scientific analysis at a lab. The adcoms are going to definitely be impressed–be sure to hit big on that in your apps.</p>

<p>Keep up the oboing and key clubbing. Both are stellar activities.</p>

<p>As for me, I’m going to be a senior in Edison, NJ. Can you help me gauge my chances too?</p>

<p>I’m a caucasian male.</p>

<p>I recently won this state-level drama competition for acting out a physics problem. I’m really passionate about bringing physics to the real world and stuff. Particularly interested in probing the quantum mechanical properties of homeopathic drug delivery systems, which is what I’m going to submit to my local science fair, under guidance of my mentor.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance =)</p>

<p>Ummm sorry to break it to you, but your stats are EXTREMELY low for all those schools. I’d say you have little to no chance at this point in time.</p>

4

<p>ShifterBoi, maybe things are different where you live but getting in the 500’s in a section in the SAT is NOT a good score.</p>

5

<p>Yeahh…uh, sorry but your SAT is not nearly high enough for any of the schools you listed. And Wharton is your safety!!! Go back and do your research!! Wharton has a lower acceptance rate than many of the Ivies you listed. It’s the #1 business school in the nation and is INCREDIBLY competitive. Your GPA is also on the low side.
Sorry to be harsh, but I think you have less than 1% chance at these schools :/</p>

6

<p>Just as a note…Shifterboi’s post sounds quite sarcastic in my opinion =P</p>

<p>Rondo: Sorry to say it bud, but I think you don’t have that much of a shot…Also, expand your list to include more safties/matches. Then again, you could just be kidding about your thing about having Wharton as a safety etc…</p>

<p>lololol I just re-read shifterboi’s post … and I agree with you penguinboy XP Haha, I didn’t actually take the time to read it before but LOL</p>

<p>“I recently won this state-level drama competition for acting out a physics problem.”</p>

<p>That pretty much sums it up.</p>

<p>One thing you guys are overlooking is that he’s made all-state basketball all 4 years. That means he must be an exceptional player and may be looking for a D1 scholarship or to go under an athletic acceptance. It is common for athletes to make it into these schools with not so exceptional academics but stellar athletics.</p>
