These are the main things I am involved in, in looking at apps they only give you space to mention a few, so I chose to focus on these.</p>
<p>Awards: This is where I am weak, I've received academic awards all three years thus far, and participated in a chemistry competition and took 2 in state, but other than this I don't really have any others</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are, and should I do SCEA</p>
<p>Well, it's hard to say for sure until you get your SAT I scores--but based upon what you posted on here so far, the answer is absolutely yes you should apply for SCEA at Stanford.</p>
<p>Thanks, and can anyone help me on my essay, or rather read my essay and provide feedback. I really did not know what to write about so I just went with whatever thoughts.</p>
<p>I am sorry to inform you that you don't have a high enough class rank to be accepted to Stanford. You will have to settle for your state school.</p>
<p>In addition, as you said yourself, winning academic awards every single year and getting second in a state level science competition shows you haven't gotten enough awards. You have accomplished nothing with your life. You should have done more. Forget your state school, you'll have to go to a fourth tier private now.</p>
<p>And OMG, only 2 800's on the SATII's? What joke is this? Forget college; you'll never get in anywhere. You might as well sign off from your computer now, and go get a job application from McDonalds.</p>
<p>I am really sorry to tell you this, but you have failed at life. In fact, the only college you MIGHT have a chance at getting accepted to is WashU, but as any CC member will gladly inform you, that IS the worst college on the face of the earth known to all humanity thus far. In fact, McDonalds is more academic than WashU, according to CC posters.</p>
<p>can you mention state universities in your application if you've done programs involved through them. Or are we not supposed to mention a particular universities name?</p>
<p>There is no way anyone can even begin to tell you chances without an SATI score. However, there is nothing that stands out that would make you unusual at Stanford even with a 2400. Keep in mind they reject the majority of vals and that the vast majority of accepted students were at least NMS semi finalists and have some outstanding EC.</p>
