its not happening without a 34+ on ACT

3

a 24 ACT?
Yeah it’s not happening. Raise it by at least 9 points.

Your extra curricula’s are really impressive! You seem to show a deep interest in business and boy scouts. Even though your ACT is low by Stanford’s standards, apply just to see what happens. You never know what could come of just applying.

5

You have time to retake the ACT! Spend the summer studying. With a 34+ ACT, you have a reasonable chance (you will not get eliminated immediately, I mean. Stanford is a crapshoot but you want to give yourself the best odds possible.)

Thanks to everyone that replied. Yes, I am aware of my ACT, and I will probably take classes to take it 2-3 more times. 1 in June, and possibly 2 my senior year.
