<p>Haha, looks great~!!</p>

<p>But I can't say too much, because I had a Chinese friend almost exactly like you who I was SURE would get into Standford on EA, but then didn't fare so well. </p>

<p>Then again, every person is different. </p>

<p>I'd say a 60-80 chance, especially since it looks as if Stanford favors your school (eleven!), and you've hit most of the marks </p>

<p>Then again, it's Stanford. Nobody really knows what the heck goes on in their admissions office XD</p>

<p>You guys have Varsity Badminton? Woah cool</p>

<p>I hope stanford favors my school more than just accepting the legacy students. </p>

<p>and ya we have varsity badminton. It's awesome. =D too bad stanford doesnt... or so ssays their website.</p>

<p>Haha, varsity badminton! (For some reason I didn't catch it when I was reading XD) That's chouette~</p>

<p>Well I read that the relationship between colleges and high schools are that colleges like high schools that continually give them good kids, so they'd try to take as many in as possible so not to get on the high schools' nerves (do you understand? it's a bit complicated). Even if it was just legacy, your high school must have a decent relationship with Stanford anyway, so just because of that, Stanford should have more reason to take people from your school (...unlike mine... >_>)</p>

<p>ic. I really hope so. =D</p>

<p>bump? anyone?</p>

<p>i forgot to mention national merit semi</p>

<p>wow, those are some awesome stats!</p>

<p>Are you from SoCal? your high school judging from what you participate in looks awfully like mine. lol</p>

<p>hmm no, norcal</p>

<p>bumpity...</p>

<p>Wow... so many national merits... </p>

<p>I'm the only one even commended at my school. </p>

<p>I'll rate you at slightly above average chances.</p>

<p>I would be surprised if you did not get in.</p>

<p>You have a really good shot. But it is Stanford.</p>

<p>Its people like you that I'm worried about when I'm applying lol</p>

<p>i thought UCSF was a graduate school? </p>

<p>i say u have a shoot. get some safeties and matches and ull be good. dont just apply to stanford. haha</p>

<p>hmm I'm thinking of UCI and UCSD as safeties?
USC, UCLA, NorthWestern?</p>

<p>and then some reaches:
HYPS, Upenn, Brown, Cloumbia</p>

<p>Art Studio Painting and Drawing: 4</p>

<p>Is that a real test? </p>

<p>Youre pretty intimidating. I'd say that you have a pretty good chance, but all that aside, your EC's are all over the place - there is no direction. Where are your passions? </p>

<p>请你给我chance一下吧</p>

<p>About the EC, I forgot to include more info in my EC.</p>
