<p>How can someone chance you for Stanford? It's impossible and stupid to do so.</p>

<p>Regardless, I bet the next 10 posts are going to be:
1)low gpa
2)low gpa
3)low sat
4)more ecs
5)bad essay
6)low gpa
7)stanford is the greatest school ever
8)low class rank
9)community college should suit you fine
10)raise the SAT2's</p>

<p>Sidra, are you crazy? Is that how you encourage the next generation of intellectuals? What is wrong with you?
Anyway, X9521 = You have nice stats. Your standardized test scores are great as well as your ECs. Just remember to show you passion (in your esssay/s) how important and exciting one or two of your activities are (you might want to pick your unique-yet-interesting activities. However, your GPA might be a bit low...besides, have you taken any AP/IB courses? If you have good scores there, it might help “^^</p>

<p>I've taken 11.
My GPA for Stanford is 3.9UW
with 4.05 W
if my school weighed like other schools, my 10-12 W would be 4.3at least.</p>

<p>Uhh, how did it change from 3.7 to 3.9?</p>

<p>GPA on the low side, good SAT scores, pretty good ECs, I think it's a slight reach but you have a chance. By the way, colleges really don't care that much about the hyped "upward trend."</p>

<p>HAHAHAH AshyLOL....Sidra was obviously being sarcastic XD.</p>

<p>Anyway, dang, sounds like you've got an amazing chance. Especially for RD. Your scores & government ECs are particularly spectacular...</p>

<p>Good luck! I'm a long-time Stanford-worshipper (and '08 applicant) as well...<em>crosses fingers</em> :)</p>
