<p>I go to a bad public high school where about 15% of the students don't graduate. But I have to say that the upper level academics there are pretty solid.</p>

<p>I should have some decent letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>My I have some great ideas for the Stanford app essay that could really make me stand out, but getting those ideas on paper might be tough work.</p>

<p>Stanford…ehhh, you don’t have a huge chance</p>

<p>Great GPA. But that’s a very small number of APs.
Your EC’s are no good (that’s definitely your weakness) - nothing particularly special about you that would make Stanford want you in comparison to so many other Stanford applicants.</p>

<p>Agree with the above, your ECs are really lacking.</p>
