<p>Pretty much you're the dumbest thing since sliced bread. Go become a bricklayer.</p>

<p>^ ok, im not sure if that was trying to be mean and sarcastic or very truthful</p>

<p>IMO, you have a VERY good chance</p>

<p>You have nice stats, but what do you have that sets you apart from the rest of the pack? Stanford recieves soooo many piano/math/science nerd applications every year. Hopefully your essays were original and creative.</p>

<p>Those 2's on the AP exams don't look good either.</p>

<p>Interesting mix. Sporadic testing, i have to say.</p>

<p>The ISEF Finalist is awesome. Do you really love research?</p>
