<p>Pretty good, considering the URM/first generation college student factor... Stanford LOVES this!! (unfortunately for me :( parent went to stanford lol)</p>

3

<p>Pretty good to excellent chances, I'd say ~50%</p>

4

<p>Latino with those scores/gpa/ec's? Definitely in.</p>

5

<p>Very good chances... (relatively). Getting 800's on CR and writing seem to be coveted (the acceptance rate for very high W and CR is higher). I'd say weakest link is the GPA. good resume tho. If you don't get into stanford, you'll get into somewhere great.</p>

<p>He got in -_-</p>

7

<p>URM and first generation status gives you a better chance than most, but you would do well to remember that everyone is a long shot at Stanford.</p>
