<p>you have pretty good SAT and AP scores, but i dont kno if you'll get into stanford. to be honest with you, the only thing that really stands out in your ECs is the debate top 30 part and maybe the internship. you'll need to get more involved in those activities or something (winning states at debate..). hope this helps!</p>

<p>I think you have a really great shot at Berkeley. Stanford is a mega-reach for everyone but I think you've covered all bases.</p>
