<p>First of all, Stanford does not award merit based scholarships (only need-based).</p>
<p>Secondly, I agree with the above poster in that admission for your daughter is unlikely. SAT scores are the best way we have to gauge chances over the internet, as inaccurate as they may be. In this case, they do not appear to be your daughter's strongest point. I would definitely try to find a variety of schools that are closer to a 'match', starting by looking at common data sets for schools where she is in the middle 50% score wise. I wish both of you the best of luck!</p>
<p>languages1, her GPA is good, but her SAT scores, both on the the SAT I and IIs, are low for Stanford. As a very general rule of thumb, your d's SAT scores should average in the mid 700s in order to be competitive for Stanford. There are people who get in with lower and higher scores, but this is a rule of thumb. Your d's ECs, however, appear to be good. </p>
<p>I take it that she is currently a junior in High School. If so, I would consider suggesting to her that she take the ACT - some kids do better on the ACT. You may also want to have her take an ACT or SAT preparation class. Some libraries offer these preparation classes for free.
Lastly, I am not sure if you are aware that Stanford only offers need-based financial aid; it does not offer merit-based scholarships.
Good luck!</p>
