<p>Nearly perfect SAT + okay GPA + good ECs + low-income status + URM status = very good chance at Stanford. I'd say 50-50, but leaning more toward accept.</p>

<p>Are you first-generation?</p>

<p>nope, my dad has a PhD, but I haven't talked to him since I was like 5</p>

<p>I'd say you have a good shot. What is worrying me is your GPA. Get your recs to highlight your struggles outside of the classroom. How competitive is your high school? If it only sends one or two kids to top schools each year you may be in for a rude awakening when you're rejected. However, if your school sends 5% of its class to top schools, I'd say you'd have a really good shot.</p>

<p>By top schools do you mean HYPSM, because it usually is only 1-2 per year. Almost everyone in the top 10% goes to UT-Austin or A&M. Thanks for the help</p>

<p>Best of luck! I think you have a good chance. Start working on your essays now over the summer and really stand out with those.</p>
