Course load (honors and AP):

Note: I took Spanish all four years, and I was one year ahead in math.

I got recommendations from my AP US History teacher, my Leadership adviser (who I work very closely with), and my debate coach (who I also work very closely with). I already had my alumni interview (which went VERY well- she said she as going to have a hard time fitting all of the good things she had to say about me in one paragraph!). I had my best friend and my mom read over my common app essay and supplements and they said that they really brought out my personality and who I was as a person.
What do you guys think? Thanks! Stanford is my number 1 and I hear back from them in 23 days!

Any hooks (first gen, URM, legacy, etc.)? Even with one your SAT score makes it very unlikely you’ll get in that. Without one, your chances are practically 0. I wish you all the best, but be aware that you applied to the most selective school in the country (especially SCEA) and they have little reason to take someone with your scores over someone with higher scores.

You really should have retaken that SAT to get it up higher. Any score below 2100 is unlikely

4

Yeah many students are much above in math and have pretty good scores since it is one of the top schools in the country. At this point it is a reach imo.

5

No, sorry, not very likely with that SAT score.
Stanford is extremely difficult to be admitted to wit high scores, so with lower scores and NO hooks, it’s not going to happen.
Hopefully, you applied to a lot of safeties.
