<p>Hey there guys,</p>

<p>Was wondering as to how my chances look at the following schools. Sorry for the hefty list.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
Frosh Year: No honors. No AP. 3.33 GPA. My only club was Young Democrats. I was a slacker to say the least.
English: B+
Spanish II: B+
Physics: B
World History: B+
Algebra 1: A-</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: I matured greatly here. No honors or AP, but I did really well:
English 10: A
Spanish III: A-
World History II: A
Chemistry: A-
Geometry: A
Tis a 3.88 GPA. This year, I got really into everything. Joined the newspaper, debate team, World Politics Club, Young Democrats, and the Key Club. I completed over 200 hours of community service as well.
Took Algebra II with Trigonometry over the summer and got an A.</p>

<p>Junior Year:
English 11 Honors: A
Spanish IV: A
European History AP: A
Pre-Calculus: A-
Biology: A
It is a 3.94 UW GPA and a 4.24 W GPA. I still completed the community service, which is what I am dedicated to. As you can see, I slacked around Frosh year and matured greatly Sophomore year. Cared about school. In Junior Year, I still stayed in debate, newspaper, World Politics, Young Democrats, and the Key Club. I also made it on Model UN. Also, a bunch of debating awards. I am a lawyer hopeful. I interned at a Law Office. Overall, it is a 3.71/3.81 I UW/W I believe.</p>

<p>Senor Year Courses:
English 12 AP
Spanish IV Honors
American History AP
Calculus
Chemistry AP</p>

<p>I got a 2240 on my SAT's and a 34 on my ACT's. My essays are absolutely amazing (heh, I am modest), and my recs were very good to excellent as well. I was the VP Junior Year and Senior Year as well. I live in Florida. </p>

<p>Chances at these places:
Cornell (2 Proffesor's in the family)
Stanford (Professor is my cousin)
UF
NYU
University of Minnesota Twin Cities
Duke
Vanderbilt
Emory
University of Chicago (ED)</p>

<p>How closely related to you are the professors at Stanford? Cousins as well? Or aunts, uncles, siblings, parents, grandparents, any other relation?</p>

<p>Also, are they chairs of any departments, or are they associate professors or full professors?</p>

<p>The above would make the level of "pull" they have at Stanford different in getting you admitted.</p>

<p>Stanford Professor is my cousin. My grandma's sister's daughter is the professor there. She is a full professor and I am kinda distant, but friendly, with them.</p>
