<p>Chances? I know stanford is very hard to get into, but i have many other colleges on my college list (as competitive as stanford, and easier also) Thx</p>
<p>Grades are there, test scores are just a little below the mean, but well within the range of scores of admitted students. Be sure you illustrate the depth into which you went in your EC's. Things like raising money for the charity you started can mean a whole host of things to admissions officer, each with a varying degree of impressiveness, so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>Aside from that, your summer stuff seems like the next biggest group of things on your EC list. I can tell you that the Citibank thing is something not a lot of kids will do until college, so you're ahead of the curve there. I think if you can somehow tie together the Forum and the Game design camp into an interesting essay that would help your chances significantly.</p>
<p>As good a chance as anyone I would say.</p>
<p>Sounds good to me. I'm headed for Stanford in the fall and I'd say that we're in roughly the same caliber. Retake your ACTs and remember how totally random admissions always are.</p>
<p>thanks a lot, i hope to get about 2 pts higher in my act, i hope im lucky in the admissions decisions cuz luck is always part of it :)</p>
<p>btw, my college list right now is the following:
Stanford SCEA
Harvard
Yale
UPenn (Wharton)
Emory
Northwestern
Duke
University of Florida</p>
<p>I want to apply to 2 more colleges, one preferably a safety school and another a "match" school. What would you all recommend? Thanks</p>
<p>You could make into every school on that list, or you might make it into just 1 or 2. I would add not one safety school and a couple match schools along the lines of Emory. BC? One of the Claremont schools? Rice? USC? UNC? Wake Forest? Middlebury?</p>
<p>is UC Berkeley a good match? Also, how is George Washington University for a safety?</p>
<p>I would say GW is a fine safety, yes. As for Berkeley, you'd have to ask someone more familiar with the UC system that I. I know trying to get in from out of state can be like herding cats, but put up a post in their forum here and see what people there say.</p>
<p>UCB is never a safety for anyone OOS.</p>
