<p>So..are you a junior or a senior?
Have you really attended TASP or participated in the USAMO?
Are you sure your class rank is 9%???</p>

<p>woohoo....upward trend..high SATs...high GPA...NMS...good EC's and doesn't toot his horn....wow....you're chances are probably about 1 in 5 to Stanford. Sorry if i sound like an ass...but reality bites</p>

<p>u seem like a canidate for those schools, but make sure that u have safety schools because all of these schools r extremely competitive, but great job on SAT and SAT II's btw</p>

<p>TASP and test scores are a definite plus!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, you don't realy have a passion (from the info you've given us) and your EC's are mediocre. Stanford has rejected better applicants (our val), but with some luck you have a great chance!</p>
