<p>Hi everyone!</p>
<p>I'm a junior right now, but I'm trying to prep for college and kinda just boost my chances of getting into Stanford, my dream school. Here are my stats right now:</p>
<p>SAT: >2300
SAT II: 800 Math IIC, 790 Biology</p>
<p>Cumulative (9th and 10th grade) GPA: 4.24 weighted, 3.88 unweighted </p>
<p>Courses in 10th grade:
Wind Ensemble, English II, French II, AP Calculus BC 11, Chemistry Honors, AP Physics B, The World and Europe II, and Varsity Boys Cross Country and Track (all A's except for an A- in French and a B+ in World and Europe II... I took all the honors courses available)</p>
<p>Courses in 11th grade: AP Physics C Mech, AP Physics C E&M, AP Chemistry, AP United States History, English III Honors, French III Honors, and Advanced Seminar in Mathematics (linear algebra, etc.), Varsity Boys Cross Country and Track</p>
<p>USC/ISI Internship (Our paper's been submitted to a computer science conference, we're waiting for the results right now)</p>
<p>Music (Clarinet for 6 years, Piano for 9)</p>
<p>Competitions:
USAJMO Honorable Mention (Qualified one year, won 17th nationally the second year)
California State Science Fair (Qualification) and LA Science Fair Second Place in Physics
ARML Top Scorer
USA Physics Olympiad Semifinal Qualifier
USA Computing Olympiad Silver Tier
School Science Bowl A Team
SYMF Awards (4 top 4 finishes)</p>
<p>I got 5's on both of my AP's last year, so once I'm done with this year I could potentially have 6 5's on my AP's... Gonna hope for that :) I'm also gonna try to win the USAMO this year, but that's a small maybe. I can probably get the science pentathlon (semifinals at least in USAMO, USA Computing Olympiad, USA Physics Olympiad, USA Biology Olympiad, and USA Chem Olympiad). Probably gonna get to the Southern California state meet this year with my cross country team too. I will be taking a couple of SAT II's (should be easy 800's, I'm pretty good with the sciences). I also go to a private school in LA; the specific school name can be provided if it helps with analyzing whether I can get into Stanford or not.</p>
<p>The one thing that I really think might make a difference is my aptitude/hobby for computer science (and in particular, coding). I only know one language (Java) right now, which is kinda limiting, but I've found that I really love solving problems by writing programs for them... and, to be honest, I'm not too shabby at it :D I'm thinking of doing a research project involving coding in the future (I've already done some coding; my USC/ISI internship paper required me to do all the coding for our project team, and the vast majority of my CA/LA science fair project was based on coding as well).</p>
<p>Anyways, just wanted to know... what are my chances of getting in right now if I keep going like this? What can I do to help increase my chances (community outreach, volunteer, etc.)?</p>
<p>(This is a repost of my chance thread from about a month and a half ago; I've updated some stuff on here)</p>
