Chances Stanford ED pending Intel/Siemens

Applying to College
1

<p>I wanted to get opinions on Stanford ED given that I become a semi-finalist or even finalist in the Westinghouse competition/Intel.</p>

<p>Current Stats are:</p>

<p>SAT-2250(M780, R740, W730)
SAT II's- USHist-700 :(, MathII-760, Biology-740
EC's-Pretty good compared to CC standards. Leadership positions as well.
Recs-Will be "good," possible "Best of my Career" selections
Rank-8/489 (2%)
GPA-3.8/4 </p>

<p>Anything else I'm missing?</p>

<p>Anyways, please evaluate with possibility of becoming a semi-finalist/finalist. Don't bother telling me I won't make it w/o them, I know :P</p>

<p>Stanford doesn't have ED.</p>

<p>But yeah, good chances.</p>

<p>how gud is ur project? btw doing intel won't really help you because the results come out in late january. and siemens you just might get the results in time. </p>

<p>chances r pretty solid, but not "great" unless ur essays/recs are really that good. but i guess "best of my career" will help.</p>

<p>Stanford has SCEA, not ED.</p>

<p>If you live in caliii though, you have a much lesser chance.</p>

<p>And btw you just can't ASSUME you will become semifinalist/finalist, because you're project has to be DAMN good, and the professor should have done 3/4 of the work.</p>

<p>oh yea btw, i live in houston, tx, and one person from my school made siemens regional finalist (only 36 in the nation), had a 2280 SAT, class rank of 6/650 at a top 100 high school, excellent EC's, recs, and essays:</p>

<p>Harvard: Rejected
Yale: Waitlisted-->rejected
Stanford: Rejected
Duke: Accepted
Rice: Accepted w/ big scholarship</p>

<p>as you can see, getting siemens, at least (i don't know about intel, which won't help you anyway) might not make a big difference.</p>
