<p>I recently applied to Stanford (among other universities) and am very impatient to know about the admissions decisions so I am making this post. (btw this is my first post) my ACT score was a 32 composite (English 33, math 33, reading 33, science 30, writing 31) my SAT was pretty horrible - 2030 (CR 690 Math 660 Writing 680) and my weighted GPA is 4.38 (unweighted 3.96 - two B's freshman year) my class rank is 6 out of 413 students and I have been heavily involved in the band program at my school since elementary school. Marching band, drumline, concert band. I am the percussion section leader for marching and concert band this year and a member of the Band Council (like the leaders for the band program)
I have also been a member of the badminton team since junior year and made varsity in my first year.
I am going for the IB diploma. I got a 6 on the music exam last year (haven't taken any other tests yet) I was a leader for the IB Group 4 project<br>
I took AP US history (scored a 5) and AP Calculus (didn't take the test)
I have also volunteered as a camp counselor and on thanksgiving and Christmas I volunteer to spend time With lonely elderly people.<br>
I work at IN-n-Out burger
If I have no chances you guys can.just say so. Just don't say it too meanly. I might as well apply and see what happens right? I also applied to UC Davis, UCSD, UCLA, and Berkeley. Harvard (haha no chance my dads idea) Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Emory, Cal Poly and Willamette. In case you guys know anything about those schools :) thank you :)</p>
<p>Hmmm…I think you have a decent chance so far because of the ECs. Did your take the most challenging classes available? And 2 B’s do hurt your GPA a little. Usually if they are not core classes they let it pass. You do know your GPA is recalculated when being admitted to colleges? </p>
<p>I think you will do alright n-n</p>

<p>At my school we only have the two AP’s that I took so I take IB classes instead, it is the best we have. And the B’s were in math and English but I guess the recalculated GPA would be 4.0 since I got all a’s except the two B’s freshmen year. Also, do you think my ACT score is good enough?</p>
<p>Well that is alright, usually colleges also want to see an improvement. So if you got all A’s for the rest of your classes then that is fantastic. n-n</p>
<p>I think it gives you a good chance. You are just I mean 3 sorry points below the 75th percent. Have you checked already?

<p>So 34 is the 75th percentile? Hmmm I guess I’m in the range then. If I actually get in there I think I would die of happiness haha. Anyways thank you for replying 
I thought no one would post haha</p>
<p>I mean 3 sorry. But I think your ECs are really good and if your essay was as good as well. You have a chance.</p>
<p>If you do not mind please check my thread,

<p>And no problem n-n</p>
<p>Oh I forgot to put my SAT subject test scores. Biology M - 700 Literature - 710 Spanish - 730</p>
<p>Hmmm you did not take a Math Subject Test?</p>
<p>My math skills aren’t my strength. I wanna major in biology and minor in spanish so I can teach biology to English second language learners. That’s why I did bio and span, but I’m just better at English than math</p>
<p>anybody? 10char</p>
<p>Stanford is a high reach for everyone, but you have a small shot. good luck</p>
<p>Thanks! 10char</p>
<p>So did you get in?</p>
<p>Slim chances but you should be able to get into one of your schools (not Harvard for sure) </p>
