<p>My essays are pretty good, and are almost perfect. Still tweaking them. Have an interesting story and have showed a quirky character.</p>

<p>What percent chance would you say I have? Remember that I am applying early.</p>

<p>Stanford-Low Reach</p>

<p>But you have great chances! Your grades and test scores are excellent
I would say you chances of getting in is around 30%</p>

<p>Just a quick note, applying REA over RD will pose no strategic advantage in the admissions process. Stanford receives a plethora of perfect students, and there is no need for them to accept more early.</p>

5

<p>Stanford only has REA/SCEA, no ED. ED usually give advantage to the applicant, while EA may or may not having advantage other than earlier notice. REA is somewhere in between. Qualified applicants are encouraged to apply REA. Stanford has very high EA rejection rate. If you need to and you can improve your score or GPA, don’t do REA.</p>

<p>Your scores, GPA, and ECs are fine…it will be the intangibles…essays, recommendations, your character that will determine whether you get in or not. Good luck!</p>
