<p>you have decent chances.. your scores are pretty good, but they will not make u stand out in teh Stanford pool. Your ECs are good, but make sure that you elabortae on which activity you are most passionate about. The key is not to have 6+ activities but rather to have 2-3 that you are really involved in.</p>

<p>If you write about this in your essays, your chances will increase.</p>
