<p>I know i havent inputed all my stats but i just want a rough estimate if i would have a chance at Stanford</p>

<p>Thanks :D</p>

<p>Who are you? You have a frickin' perfect score on the ACT and almost perfect on the SAT! You got it in the bag. You have spent time pursuing your ECs and you know how to write and interview. Sounds good to me...</p>

3

<p>You have a chance anywhere, and I bet you know it...</p>

4

<p>I don't believe these people... and I can still say this because I never posted a chances thread =D</p>

<p>Good job on the ACT though ;)</p>

5

<p>Hey julyinoh, you got a 36 on the ACT, so props to you as well!</p>

6

<p>thanks guys :D</p>

<p>I know my ACT and SAT will help my chances but i was really worried about my GPA, especially my 3.2 freshman and sophmore year.</p>

<p>Good news for you is that Stanford does not look at freshman grades, so just keep working hard. Do you attend Detroit Country Day?</p>

8

<p>you'll probably get in</p>

9

<p>nope, i actually attend Cranbrook, but i have a lot of friends at DCD. Do you go there?</p>

<p>See this is exactly what I HATE about chance threads. This person has a 3.5 GPA that's like a B+ average! How can you guys say (s)he has a shot at Stanford? It makes no sense! So (s)he did well on the SAt that does not make up for such a low gpa. I mean to even think of Stanford you have to do better than a B+ average... What would ya'll say to aperson with 650-700 on every section on SAT for Stanford BUT a 4.0 in like 7 AP classes and all honors (like neomanxl? No shot right? But doesn't that person hard work and dedication for four years mean more than taking a 4 hour test well. If she has a 9.8 or more with those SAT scores then YES good shot but otherwise NO WAY!!! Maybe at lower ivies but not Stanford!</p>

11

<p>You have a good shot, despite your low GPA (your ECs and scores are pretty awesome).</p>

12

<p>koolmaria139...the flaw in your reasoning is you assumed that all high schools are equal in difficulty. A 3.6 GPA from one school may be much more impressive than a 4.0 in another school. This is Cranbrook, one of the best private schools in Michigan and in the US. Plus, grades, albeit important, are just one part of the app. Stanford looks at apps holistically. The OP has a rising trend in grades which looks good. Test scores are fine. </p>

<p>Btw neomanxl, what year were you a siemens semifinalist?</p>

<p>stanford doesn't give interview, i thought.
work on achievements and i think you got it</p>
