<p>I know. i just put this up becuase stanford was my dream school. but im a realistic person. I was hoping my focus and interest in technologys would be a help, but not enough to get in</p>
<p>I know that a person can be interested in many schools, but do find this comment contradictory with hopefully, the fact, that Stanford is your dream school.</p>
<p>"My lax coach went [to University of Pennsylvania] and is close with the admissions board. I'm hoping he'll be able to help in some way."</p>
<p>I hope you will be able to convince Stanford admission officers that Stanford is truly your dream school.</p>

That's the easy part -- they pretty much assume that they are everyone's dream school. The hard part is to convince them that they should fulfill your dream, and not someone else's...</p>
<p>Just work on your grades and scores, write good essays, apply, and hope for a miracle...</p>
<p>I also failed to mention that i started a club to be open in my senior year that will raise money to donate computers and electronics to needy kids and adults here in miami, or mainly, in 3rd world country. im the founder/president and was going to donate the 5000 i made from my xbox business to it. Would this help my cahces at all?</p>
<p>This would also possibly be my new essay topic</p>
<p>this yr is super competitive
i'd say it's a stretch, but what do i know??
i'm sure your counselor knows best
you can't change much of activities...
so do well in the Oct SAT, and write a heart-moving essay</p>
