<p>Hook: I come from a 50 person (entire school) Performing Arts High School in colorado. Unique student, not a standard 4.0, 2400 public school student, but bring forward thinking, creative, think outside the box. </p>

<p>Applying SCEA</p>

<p>I cant think of anything else, except I am sending in a folder with information about my school since it is so unique (I know, they dont like these, but whatev). </p>

<p>Tell me if I am missing anything.</p>

<p>Thanks for Looking! (and be kind)</p>

<p>Arts supplement?</p>

3

<p>i think you will likely be rejected SCEA... apparently they're not big on deferrals which you would probably get otherwise.</p>

4

<p>why? would I have a better chance in RD?</p>

5

<p>No, RD doesn't improve chances for anyone. If Stanford is your first choice, go for SCEA.</p>

6

<p>so.. anyone have any actual chances for me?</p>

7

<p>i say no chance, sorry. low SAT scores for stanford, really low. No SAT II's?? Keep in mind that 90% of people applying have taken two.</p>

<p>Since you come from performing arts school. Why did you not do the arts supplement?</p>

8

<p>btw, a performing arts school without AP Music Theory? O.o</p>

9

<p>well... thanks for the reality check. :(</p>

10

<p>^Don't let these people get to you. You're chances are in fact small, but people do get in with 2040s on their SATs. Your GPA is quite good.</p>

<p>read this:
Stanford</a> University</p>

12

<p>SAT scores are extremely low for Stanford. The rest of the profile appears obscenely derivative. If you can get the SAT to a 2250...</p>

13

<p>Please further explain that hook.</p>

14

<p>^^^^</p>

<p>what do you mean? I am not a unique student... I am a good actor... I dunno. If I get in, Im gonna laugh at all y'all</p>
