<p>Legacy (My father attended as an undergrad. Also, my uncle currently works there but I don't remember his exact title, and I know that won't help anyway haha. I guess it's just cool.) </p>
<p>I know Stanford is need-blind when reviewing apps, but because of my family's income I'd receive free tuition due to Stanford's new policy (along with many of the Ivies)...that would be AMAZING!</p>

<p>You are required to report all SAT scores to Stanford if you took them, so it would be important for someone to give you a chance.</p>
<p>it’s really your essays more than anything else that will give us a picture of who you are and whether we think you will get in. you should estimate how good they are (get an unbiased rating of 1-10 from someone or something like that).</p>
<p>From what you have stated right now, I would say you are a little below borderline, but there is not enough information to give any kind of accurate chance</p>
<p>NJDS, are you positive that you must send SAT scores if you took them? Because Stanford’s website says:</p>
<p>“Applicants must self-report and submit all SAT scores or all ACT scores and cannot elect to “hide” any scores with either testing agency. Applicants may, however, selectively submit whatever SAT Subject Test scores they choose, as those scores are not required for admission.” </p>
<p>Note that it says ALL SAT scores OR ALL ACT scores. To me that sounds like you only have to send your scores from ONE of the tests but from EACH time you took that test. </p>
<p>Can anyone verify an answer regarding this?</p>
<p>Based on this, you are free to choose whether to submit all SAT OR or all ACT scores. You don’t have to submit all scores from both SAT and ACT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>According to this, I think you are not allowed to hide scores with either (one, or another) testing agency. </p>
<p>If they wanted all of your SAT and ACT scores, they would probably say something along the lines of “You have to send us the results of all SAT **and<a href=“not%20either”>/B</a> ACT tests you have taken.”</p>
<p>If you are unsure, you could email them and ask for exact clarification, but I do not think that is needed.</p>
<p>the resume is not doing it for me at all…academic stats are unimpressive, and EC’s are little below average…remember, this is Stanford you are applying to…</p>
