<p>Your scores are solid but I am afraid your ECs are a little shaky. Since you are an Asian who is interested in something other than math/science, write good essays and I think you will stand a good chance.</p>

3

<p>irony: c1ndy's bad grammar lol?</p>

4

<p>wait where does she have bad grammar?
now im upset because i cant find it lol</p>

5

<p>Since you are an Asian who is interested in something other than math/science, write good essays and I think you will stand a good chance.</p>

6

<p>wait i feel so stupid
what is it supposed to be?</p>

7

<p>Correction:
Since you are an Asian who is interested in something other than math/science and writes good essays, I think you will stand a good chance.</p>

<p>And you got what on your ACT/ SAT lol?</p>

8

<p>hahahaha, honey
what she said is correct
i don't think she was trying to say what you wrote</p>

9

<p>I think she has an excellent chance. Great test scores and a clear passion for music/dance.</p>

10

<p>wait then what did she want to say, maybe perhaps this is why i fail at english...
Even if I see your way, paraphrased since you are not interested in math/ science so write good essays to get in, there is that subordinate clause which cannot be used with and</p>

<p>Thanks for all the helpful comments.
I don't actually see the grammar mistake either but that is probably just because I fail.</p>

12

<p>Her grammar isn't incorrect... it just depends on how you interpret what she is saying</p>

<p>Honestly, I feel like its people like you who should be accepted to Stanford... because you seem normal and dont have all of these wild and crazy ECs all over the place. I can definitely tell you have a passion, so hopefully admissions officers will see that! I know Stanford tends to accept more normal kids so I think you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>I have similar stats as you except my passions lie elsewhere!</p>
