<p>Good luck. As so many of the candidates on this site, you are strong academically, but it will depend on essay's, rec's and ssr from your school counselor. Many factors go into decisions not just sat and grades. I wish they did because I'm also very strong academically.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Any more opinions. I forgot to mention that I earned 5's in AP Calc BC, AP Physics, and AP US History, and I am taking 5 AP classes this year, giving me a total of 8 for my high school career. My recs will be fabulous, both my counselor's and my teachers'. Also, if it impacts the decision in any way, I am Asian(Indian). </p>

<p>Any suggestions as to what I can do to improve my chances at Stanford? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your time!</p>
