<p>Your stats are all very similar to mine. I am a Classics major who was deferred EA, but I'd say you have a very good chance. Good luck!</p>

<p>those are great stats, but all they mean is that you're qualified to legitimately apply to a top institution like stanford, but the chances of getting in are low because there are so many other qualified students who apply too. nevertheless, there's a definite chance, so best of luck, and i'm sure you'll end up at an incredible school.</p>
