<p>On the contrary, Stanford (because it is a private school), actually rejects less people from California than out of state. It's all about diversity, and Stanford would much rather prefer someone from an area that has never heard of stanford. This is not to say that you won't get in; on the contrary, your stats show good chances at getting in. Just don't assume that because you're a resident you've got priority.</p>
<p>heh, i want to be the first chinese to be on the college basketball team
i do have time management, and that is important. I have been studying highschool stuff since 7th grade, and yet i don't have glasses</p>
<p>ps. PUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA</p>
<p>lol. im a chinese boy too in cali and am also aiming for stanford. lets hope you are either lying or your application isnt anywhere NEAR MINE. haha.</p>
<p>2 strong varsity sports + crazy academics is ..
suspicious or outstanding, depending if its true.</p>
<p>how did you do so many APs and why do you say you did sports 4 years, or cpt 2 years when you are a junior?!
send a private msg to me later =)</p>
<p>i take ap classes in freshman</p>
<p>Why would you take that many SAT IIs?</p>
<p>you have great stats! however, i think that stanford, along with most ivies, look for something special in an applicant that distinguishes him or her from anyone else. a lot of people have great test scores, play the violin, play tennis and are involved in community service. i think that if you found that one special thing, you would have a great chance! otherwise, you are just one of many similar asian applicants.</p>
<p>what would be something special?</p>
<p>just something that distinguishes you from every other asian applicant who has the exact same stats as you do. and i'm telling you there are people with very similar stats who get rejected every year. i have a friend who applied early, had almost perfect SAT scores, played 2 instruments, 2 sports, and did a whole bunch of e.c.s but was rejected. you should find some volunteer activity, extra curricular activity, summer program, just something that not many others will have. the admission officers just need something to remember YOU by when reading your application, especially after going through thousands of apps similar to yours. </p>
<p>good luck with everything!! with those stats, i'm sure you will get into a great school, no matter what!</p>
<p>This is unreal and I am confident you are lying. How can you be a junior and have been in multiple sports for four years??? How can you been in so many AP classes and truly have already taken that many AP tests while completing four hundred hours of community service on top of playing two varsity sports? And the perfect 5s on all ten or so of those AP tests assuming you took all those tests as a freshman and sophomore??</p>
<p>Bull$h!T Those stats are too amazing, I don't buy them at all. Anybody with those stats would realize that they are just as qualified as any student in the country and wouldn't need cc'ers to tell them whether they stand a chance at Stanford. </p>
<p>Other than that I only see one alternative; maybe you are making up tests and scenario's and assuming they will all come through perfectly? Explain yourself a little bit...</p>
<p>Hey, wait a minute! Romo1 has a point! If you click on this guy's name and come to his posts, you can clearly see his stats keep changing. It might be 780 on Writing in another thread and 720 in another. This guy clearly doesn't have the stats yet.</p>
<p>Oh yeah. Contrary to all the posts on this site, getting a 2200 or above on the New SAT is a LOT harder than it looks. People come in thinking they will get 2200 but get 2000's. Retakes only improve your score by 50-60 points or so. You can't make up that you have 2200 scores. Until you get them, you probably don't have them.</p>
<p>If this WERE a real applicant, he would get rejected by almost all of the Ivies. Why? He's too mechanical. Colleges want people, not machines. This is why the acceptance rates for people are higher for 1560 and 1570 people than for 1600 people. 1600's are sometimes seen as mechanical.</p>
<p>A lot of stats here are based in theory and not in fact. These posters who post these mean no harm; they're just guessing their stats. Odds are they will be a lot lower.</p>
<p>So RELAX people! Many CCer's statistics are truely too good to be true.</p>

<p>sat 2 are diff. (no foreign languageS or physics) --> lower scores in every subject, --> years of violin at the begining of the thread we're on is diff. compared to one just above. does not mention act which is good in the thread on previous page. AP tests are way different. Sports, well LOL you can see the major differences.
I think this guy is full of crap COMPLETELY ruining the purpose of collegeconfidential.com.
