<p>Definitely a reach, but I’d say it’s worth trying. You’d have to make yourself stand out very significantly through essays and recs, though.</p>

8

<p>What do they look for in a good essay</p>

9

<p>At the moment, no. I think it’s too much of a reach.</p>

10

<p>Worth trying, but highly competitive. </p>

<p>Not to discourage you, but one of my best friends got denied ED this year.</p>

<p>Her stats: 2300 SAT, ranked 1/260, 4.0 GPA (4.85/4.85 weighted), first in state woman’s fencing, half-Asian</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>FA will be a big factor. With or without FA, it will still be a reach.</p>

<p>Research means… RESEARCH! Go read Stanford admission websites, their policy. Familiarize yourself with how you apply. If you can’t do that, don’t expect to get into Stanford.</p>
