<p>Your profile is great! If you were a normal applicant I'd say you have good chances, but idk about Stanford's approach to homeschoolers.</p>

<p>This isn't the place to ask this bud, not many people know enough about Stanford's treatment of homeschools to offer any good advice at all. I would recommend you email the admissions department and ask what their approach to homeschoolers is, and actively seek out people who are familiar with your situation. Maybe there are a few kids around this forum that know something, but don't expect a ton of responses.</p>
