I didn’t really want to apply to Stanford but my parents convinced me to do it. Not sure if my stats and EC are considered low. Also, I’m not a good writer, and don’t have much leadership. I am planning on applying for Biology

GPA uw: 3.98, weighted: 4.38

SAT:1420
SATII:
Bio E: 800
Chem: 730
Math 2: 750

AP: Biology (4), Chemistry (5), Physics 1 (5), Psychology (5), Calculus BC (IP), micro+macro econ (IP), Statistics (IP)

Currently taking: AP Calc BC, AP Stats, AP Econ, Principles of Biotechnology, Physiology, Shakespeare, American Democracy

EC:
School Swim Team
Karate
Shield and Scroll Honor Society
“Explainer” at museum
Reconnect Club (Co-Founder, Co-President)

A lot of these EC are recent or only done for 1 year.
Hoping I can get some ideas or advice on if applying would be worth. Thank you!

My recollection is that Stanford admits about 4.8% of applicants. Many of these will be recruited athletes or URM. You SAT looks low for Stanford (not for most other schools), your GPA about on target for Stanford. I think that academically you are clearly strong enough to handle Stanford. However, I doubt that your chances are any better than the 4.8% that the average applicant runs into, and may be slightly less.
