<p>My Essay was good, but perhaps not personal enough. My Recs were above-average. I'm from Colorado (obviously), so I don't know if that will give me a Geographic advantage or not. Will my SAT2 USHistory score hurt me? I'd appreciate any feedback!</p>

<p>I'm not to into this whole "chance assessment" stuff, in the end you either get in or you don't, and with Stanford most of the time there's no way to tell. I will say, though, that I think you have a reasonably good chance, above the average applicant. You have nice ECs which show leadership and a focus on certain interests, and obviously have done very well academically. Considering your other scores, I don't think your US History score will hurt. I am wondering, though, does Stanford prefer to see a Math (IIC?) score? I guess it's not required, so if they do want a Math SAT II it won't shut you out, but just a thought.</p>

<p>About you coming from Colorado, it might help you a little, I don't know how much, but you probably have a geographic advantage over California applicants. Don't know how much it counts for, though.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
