My Uncle is a professor at a university in Nicaragua and is constantly going on trips to different countries to discuss a thesis of his with other people he and the dean at the university are willing to give me a college recommendation. I also have a recommendation from two of my teachers.
I want to know my chances based of this it be really helpful also any tips on things i should do to improve my chances?</p>
<p>Stanford is one of those colleges that require more than high scores and a high gpa (which you have). It requires a good hook, or something that differentiates you from other candidates. I’d say you have a good hook because of your independence. You’ve started 2 businesses, and you’re going to start a third one while you’re just a high school student. And of course, that letter of recommendation from the dean of a university will prove to invaluable. Being Hispanic will also help you stand out. Now while it looks like you’re chances are looking good, remember that at Stanford and all other top-tiers and ivy leagues, there’s no guarantee for anyone, unless you cure cancer or something.</p>
<p>^I agree with both posters above. Just bump up your ACT a little; other than that, you’re a super competitive applicant :)</p>
