<p>To all of you guys (and girls) who got into Stanford, CONGRATS!!! I was wondering if you could maybe give me a chances 'review'.
Here are my Stats:
SAT I: 2210 (750 CR, 750 M, 710 W); I'm retaking it, and my current practice tests show a 2300+.
SAT II: I haven't taken these yet, but I will take Math 2, US History, and Biology, and should get above 780 on all three (i'm going to take the best between US History and Biology, and send it with Math)
GPA and Courseload (Stanford's '5 core areas'):
10th Grade: Spanish 4 Honors, English 10 Honors, AP Chemistry, Precalculus, Modern World Civilizations
11th Grade: Spanish 5 AP, American Literature Honors, AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP US History
UW GPA: 3.8
Weighted GPA: 4.6
Class Rank: I think top 10% to top 3%
ECs and Reccommendations:
Karate: Black Belt, have been doing it since 8th grade. Awards in Karate: Instructor, Squad/Module Leader of the Month 7 times, recent promotion to Instructor (one of the youngest in the program), Student of the Month 10 times
Refereeing: I ref soccer for CYSA, AYSO, and Jr. High Schools. Have been doing it since 9th grade; I do roughly 90 games a year, about 60% paid, 40% community service
Muslim Student Association: Treasurer since the beginning of this year, I have increased the size of our funds tenfold
National Honor Society
California Scholarship Federation
I also do a lot of community service work in Sudan whenever I go there (once every other summer for roughly 2 months); build houses, teach English, sanitation, general 'good citizenry'.
I will probably get an excellent reccommendation later from my U.S. History teacher (I have the best grade in the class), and at least a good one from my English teacher.
Will probably have good essays, but I've heard they're changing them because of Common Application thing next year.
I will also probably get a glowing rec from my Karate Instructor
URM status: I am a Muslim African American male from California</p>
<p>So, chances, PLEASE?</p>
