Congratulations on your achievements.

I can’t chance you for Stanford, but do think your application will get a long look.
Does Stanford’s net price calculator show the school will be affordable?

What AP scores will you be reporting?

Regarding the rest of your list, I am concerned they may not be affordable as none meet full need. I encourage you to add some meet full need private schools…Do you have other schools on your list? At least one affordable safety? Would U of SC and Clemson be affordable?
