you seem like a well rounded person that is qualified enough to get into stanford. just remember in your app and essays you need to highlight one hook that you are extremely excellent at. there are simply too many well rounded and qualified people to accept all of them. good luck! stanford is my dream school too!!
Thank you. i am assuming you are junior as well.
There are no guarantees in Stanford admissions. Write about your passion on your essay. Remember that there are several dozen amazing colleges in the USA. Stanford is looking for the exceptional. Athletic EC’s don’t count for much unless you are a recruited athlete or Olympic caliber. As baker123 said, pursue something to the point of being exceptional in the time you have left before the application goes in.
If I expand on ART program which I founded and still running the pgm for special aid kids will help?
I am varsity swimmer and a swim mentor for special aid kids.
I have real passion for these kids and the organization will give a very good letter as well.
do you think this will help or it’s not a big thing at all when compare to other applicats.
