<p>Well, have you taken the SAT II Subject tests? That’s the only major piece missing here. If you could PM or post your scores, it’d be quite useful. </p>

<p>Anyways, I would imagine your chances are…decent. If you live in California, your chances are generally higher, and you’d probably be a reach. Outside of California, Stanford is probably a high reach for you. The issue is that many of your ECs are just all over the place, and there’s not too much detail as to what awards you have gotten, or your leadership positions.</p>

</p>

<p>…So on your score report, did it say 31 or 32?</p>

<p>You have an average shot. I didn’t see anything outstanding, but at the same time, your stats seem to all be on par, although your GPA is a bit on the low side for Stanford.</p>

<p>As for your EC’s, you listed over 25. When you apply to Stanford, you can only list the 12 most important activities to you, and that includes work experience and community service. So you’re going to have to take a hard look at that list and cut it in half, because there’s no way you’ll fit it all in. Select the activities that you’ve worked the most in and that have had the most impact on you and those around you.</p>

<p>Stanford is still a reach for you. If you want in, you’re going to need outstanding essays and glowing teacher recommendations. And of course, maintaining your GPA and EC’s.</p>

<p>Hope this helped. Best of luck.</p>

<p>It would help for you to stress some more leadership on your application, everything else looks fine. Reach.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are quite alot of quantity rather then quality. You should keep that in mind. Raising $200 each on 7 projects do not look nearly as good as raising $5,000 in one project. Keep that in mind. Some of your EC’s such as the Cape Cod one, you should keep out. </p>

<p>I should also remind you that average GPA score for Stanford is 3.9-4.0. You should make a excellent essay to have a chance.</p>

<p>I would say it is a reach.</p>
