<p>@Sharingan100. You have a very unusual fascinating out of the box application even for a CC transfer student…and you are only 18 now. Other than the SAT 2090 which is inconsistent with your other scores and GPA…you may be the type of interesting student that Stanford may give the nod to next month (don’t hold me to this)…good luck! </p>

<p>I don’t think people are ignoring your chance requests. It’s just that it’s almost impossible to chance someone for Stanford, especially for transfers. Yes, you meet the basics that Stanford is looking for. Yes, you are an interesting and unique applicant. However, we don’t know how many transfers Stanford is going to accept and we don’t know what type of spots they are trying to fill. If they are looking to fill any holes left in the class, it may just come down to who fits and we have no way of knowing that. All we can see is that you look like a good candidate, but no one can really chance you. </p>

<p>We can say good luck though, so I hope things turn out well for you!</p>
