Chance me?

Hi im an Australian student. I’m currently in year 11 at a good private school.

I’ve travelled to 4 nationals and 1 pan pacific games and spent 3 weeks in Europe on a training camp for water polo. I also play in a womens water polo competition. Ranking highly in all comps.

I have had lots of work experience at my dad’s finance company and at a stock broking/venture capitalist firm. I have gotten straight A’s all through high school and although my school doesn’t offer AP or honours classes my classes are some of the hardest offered.

I do Mock trials (for 2 years) which is organised by the Law society of Western Australia. Ive played water polo for school for fours years and got an honours for it. I am apart of the st vincent de paul society at school and have done about 60 hours of community service at a childcare place and at a soup kitchen.

I also was chosen and will be travelling to Canberra for a national science forum at the Australian national university. Only 300 people in the country were chosen. Next year I will be picking up many co-curriculars such as, volleyball, soccer and some service groups.

I haven’t taken the SAT’s yet but my expected score is around 2000.
I will also be sitting my ATAR which is an Australian ranking score and my expected ATAR is around 97-98 which means I’m in the top 2-3% of people in my year in Australia.

Just wondering what my chances would be. My family is quite well off so I wouldn’t need financial aid i don’t know if this makes a difference.
Thanks :slight_smile:

Water Polo at the PanPacs?

National science forum? Is that pay to attend, sponsored by the Rotary?

A 2000 SAT, coming from an English speaking country, will hurt your Stanford chances, regardless of EC’s.

You need to focus on getting strong standardized test scores. Do you think that your water polo is at a level where you could potentially be recruited? Here’s the applicant profile that Stanford uses:

There are NCAA rules on coaches recruiting before July 1 AFTER the junior year. I don’t know how that applies to international applicants. You can write or call them yourself at any time to determine whether you might be of potential interest.
