<p>Ooh, a fellow Canadian! I think you definitely have a chance if you can improve your SAT score to 2300+, and if you take the SAT IIs in November and score 800’s on them as you predicted. Please bear in mind, however, that Stanford SCEA is extremely competitive, even if you aren’t requesting financial aid. Whether you gain admission or not will be dependent on the strength of your essays. The admissions office wants to see how you think - they want to know what makes you tick as a person. Bear this in mind while writing. Also, don’t just tell them why they would be a good school for you - what they’re interested in is why YOU would be a good student for them.</p>
