Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>I'm a rising junior in high school. I currently live in Florida. My school is one of the most competitive schools in my city as well as the state.</p>

<p>My parents are both immigrants, one being from Brazil with no college education and one being from the Dominican Republic with a B.A from George Mason University.</p>

<p>I'm considered to be a hispanic because of my parents, and I was also born in Florida.</p>

<p>I have a 3.96 unweighted GPA and a 4.8 weighted GPA, but will go higher by the time I am applying to colleges.</p>

<p>I am in the top 3% of a class of 640 students.</p>

<p>I will not be taking the SAT, however I will be taking the ACT, and my predicted score is a 32. (lets assume this is my actual ACT score)</p>

<p>I currently take 6 APs, have taken 3 APs in my previous years, will take 6 APs as a senior, and have dual enrolled last summer, during this year, and will dual enroll the upcoming summer.</p>

<p>I have only taken 1 SAT 2 in World History and scored a 680. Will be taking US History, Chemistry, and Math LV 2 in May.</p>

<p>I am in various clubs including:
National Honor Society 2 years including senior year
Science Honor Society 2 years including senior year
Psychology Honor Society 2 years including senior year
English Honor Society 2 years including senior year
Roh Kappa (History Honor Society) 2 years including senior year
Treasurer of Red Cross Club 2 years (new club at my school) including senior year
Environmental Club 3 years including senior year
Chemistry Club 3 years including senior year</p>

<p>Over 200+ hours of community service.</p>

<p>I volunteer at the local middle that I used to attend 3 days a week every week since I was a freshman in high school, helping middle school students with their academic troubles.</p>

<p>I will be getting a job over the summer.</p>

<p>AP scholar award</p>

<p>Stanford is considered to be my top school choice alongside Duke. Any ideas of my chances? Also, how big of a factor is my ethnicity?</p>

<p>Why would you even ask that?
Is there anything you could do about it between now and the time you apply?</p>

<p>You are in a lot of clubs (Honor Societies? What are they about?), but from your description it isn’t clear what you are passionate about or what you actually accomplished by being in any or all of those clubs.</p>

<p>Like fluffy says, you need something to show them that you have a passion for something. Maybe youre interested in understanding human ways of thinking (from your involvement in psych). </p>

<p>With the right summer program in which you can really shine with your passion, you have a good chance!</p>
