Chance for getting into Stanford? (another one, I know right...)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>So here's what I bring to the table:</p>

<p>ACT- 35 first time as a sophomore
SAT Superscore- 2330, individual scores of 2200 and 2230</p>

<p>As a rising senior, I have a GPA of 4.52 and I am taking 4.5 weighted/AP classes next year. All As.</p>

<p>I'm involved in a variety of things at school- band (highest band and leadership team during marching band), Science Olympiad (basically the captain of the team, got us State victory and to Nationals), math league, NHS, SNHS, Hawk Leaders (helps out freshmen in the transition to high school).</p>

<p>Ranked 5 out of a class of 500. But hopefully that will go up by next year.</p>

<p>Outside of school I have been secretary of Kansas City's bicycle club for 3 years (completely adult organization) and I've done a lot of volunteering in connection to the cycling community, something I'm very passionate about..</p>

<p>I've never done any internships or summer camps because I spend my summers traveling, which I consider to be almost more important because I feel like that's taught me a lot about the real world. Will this be a problem?</p>

<p>Yeah Stanford's 7% freaks me out. Thoughts?</p>

<p>Could you get in? Yes
Are you one of the better applicants to Stanford? Yes
If I had to bet, would I say you get in? No</p>

<p>With a 6.6% acceptance rate, there’s really no point in assessing chances, especially now that you have the prerequisite stats.</p>

<p>You just gotta try your best on your application and put yourself in the best light possible and hope for the best!</p>

<p>Good luck</p>
