Chance me for Stanford please (Will chance back!)

<p>SAT Reasoning Test : 2200</p>

<p>SAT Subject tests
Biology/m=790
chemistry= 780
math level 2=780</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted)- 4.0</p>

<p>-have volunteered at a local hospital for 400+ hours
-have won a scholarship for an essay contest
-top 50 of the Intel Science and Engineering Fair
-have created and marketed a medical device (my invention for ISEF)</p>

<p>Nationality: Iranian</p>

<p>All righty, in short, I would place you at >80% chance (quite likely, actually)</p>

<p>Your scores to me will NOT keep you out. SAT I scores are pretty average, so they won't help nor hurt you.</p>

<p>ECs are all standard, and in all honesty, I was going to really slash you here, but I see you have created and marketed a medical device.... which is absolutely mind-boggling :)</p>

<p>So..... Concentrate your essays on your passions, and you have a VERY good shot.</p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/626211-chance-brown-princeton-cornell-cmu-etc.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/626211-chance-brown-princeton-cornell-cmu-etc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>your grades and ECs are all there, as long as you wrote great essays and got good recs, i'd say you'll have a 60-75 percent chance of getting in, which is really good considering how selective stanford is. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, you have an awesome shot, just be careful with your essay. Your nationality will help you, so if you haven't written your essay yet, you might want to inject it with a nice dose of Iranian culture.</p>

<p>Also, come chance me at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/635063-small-town-junior-looking-advice-chances-big-name-schools.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/635063-small-town-junior-looking-advice-chances-big-name-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Pretty sure that being Iranian won't help him, as that tends to get lumped into the Asian race, which is (no offense) generally not an advantage at most top schools</p>

<p>Make sure that your essays were great and had recs from the teachers which know you the absolute best, and you should be around a 50% chance, considering the ED slaughter that they put on in December.</p>

<p>Chance me at: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You are certainly in the running like 89% of applicants. Anyone suggesting a 50% plus chance is simply poorly informed though. Even kids with 4.0/2400 from very top high schools don't have a 50% plus chance.</p>

<p>the medical device gives you a huge chance, hmom is wrong, stanford looks for people that shine above all others, very few have done what you have, even among stanford apps and thats what gives you the edge</p>

<p>chance me back at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/635725-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/635725-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Not sure what morganmkm's qualifications are, but as someone who has been in the adcom chair, many, many kids claim all sorts of inventions. Unless the medical device has been brought to fruition, it's just one of many wonderful inventions adcom will read about this year.</p>

<p>I'm sorry if I burst your bubble, but your chances are slightly above average... which is around 10 to 13 percent. </p>

<p>Your qualifications are good, but many people also have good qualifications. Your SAT score is standard, and we know little about the quality of your personal essay, recommendations, and how you present yourself on your app. Now that the app is in, just hope for the best...</p>

<p>I'm iranian too and applying to stanford ;)
i love how your name is gooze.
I say you have a good chance, hope to se you there :)</p>

<p>How qualifications are good… if you can handle the stress, I’d retake the SAT or take the ACT if I were you.
Nationality will help. If you can incorporate that into an essay… that would be indubitably helpful.
Good luck :)</p>

<p>I think that you’re chances are good. I think that your ethnicity will help also. If you can incorporate that into your essay that’ll be great. </p>

<p>Dude. U marketed a medical device AND won Intel STS top 50. All top 10 school will be rushing for people like you. Id put your shot at Stanford at 90% +.
Id put at at 85% shot for Harvard. Intel STS and Siemens finalist carry A LOT A LOT A LOT of weight.</p>

<p>Chance back when you have time please:

<p>ISEF is very helpful
but you fit the asian category, even if you are middle-eastern/persian</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are unappealing, but the ISEF will get you in. That is exactly what colleges are looking for: a passion.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nope, I’m pretty sure Middle Eastern students are categorized as “Caucasians.”</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>He didn’t win Intel STS, you can’t participate in STS until you are a ** senior **. He placed in the top 50 at ISEF, although impressive, nowhere near the level of STS.</p>

<p>i’d say a good 40% chance. you need something to really jump off the page</p>

<p>chance back?
