<p>Hi. I have recently applied to Stanford and was wondering if I had a chance at admission. I applied through Questbridge. I became a finalist but was not matched. I have a 2100 SAT (700 R, 790 M, 610 W) and a 33 ACT(31 E, 35 M, 34 R, 33 S, 10 W) I have taken two AP classes in my junior year (APUSH 5, AP Lit 3) and am taking 5 AP classes in my senior year. I am on my school's speech and debate team, and am currently my district's public forum debate champion. I have bowled competitively all of my life, placing 5th in Canada in 2007. I volunteer at the Humane Society of Central Oregon, Bend Parks and Recreation, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 12 years and was my city's top individual fundraiser in 2005. I attended a National Student Leadership Conference at UC Berkeley this past summer. I don't know how good my essays were, but my recommendation letters were very good. I appreciate any and all advice. Thank you very much.</p>
<p>What is your GPA? Are you a URM?</p>
<p>If you have a 4.0, that school will still be a reach. If you have a 4.0 and are a URM, it would be a low reach.</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 unweighted and 4.2 weighted GPA. Is URM unreported major?</p>
<p>URM is under-represented minority.</p>
<p>no, URM is an under represented minority, and it’s a reach for you (along with everyone else lol)</p>
<p>best of luck though</p>
<p>No. I am a white male (which doesn’t help much), but I come from a low-income family. My mother has an associate’s degree and my father does not have a degree.</p>
<p>Stanford does not look at financial situation when deciding, being a white male will hurt (being white or asian is not good in the world of college admissions). It is a reach, there is nothing wrong with your application, but with Stanford it is a reach for everybody and there is some luck involved in being accepted.</p>
<p>Your application would be great for any other college, but its Stanford.
It’s a super reach</p>
