Raised $2500 for family of student with brain cancer</p>
<p>Large legacy at Stanford, how much, if at all, will that help?</p>
<p>Someone please give me insight?</p>
<p>help..............</p>
<p>It sounds like you have a great application, and will be very competitive in the admissions process. As a high school senior who's also applying to Stanford, I assure you that I know no more than you do and that ultimately my opinion is of no value.</p>
<p>To be honest, what truly stands out to me in your application is the fact that you raised 2,500 dollars for a student with brain cancer. That shows a lot of compassion, and I think Stanford will care a lot more about that than about your grades/scores, which inevitably falls in the middle 50% for most people that apply regardless of how high they are.</p>
<p>Personally, I think you have a much better chance than I do. Regardless of whether or not you get in, be proud of what you've accomplished these last four years. Not everyone has been able to help a family like you have; I think it's a great accomplishment.</p>
<p>I'm assuming that if you have a California Scholarship you live in California, which is almost essential because they don't let in a lot of out of state people. Your stats are good although i'd hope you're taking more AP classes. Id give you a 60% chance. I'm curious if you got a 4.0 on a A,B,C,D,F scale or with +'s and minuses.</p>
<p>I am a California resident, and taking as many ap classes as my school will allow. This year I am taking 3 ap classes and 1 honors class, and next year my course load will include 5 ap classes. My grades do contain + and -, and I would say I fall somewhere in between.</p>
<p>Thank you both for your help!</p>
<p>wow, i think you're definitely in!
especially since you're CA and legacy (not to mention the good stats and the really cool extracurricular w/ the brain cancer patient's family! thats sweet!)
good luck!</p>
<p>thanks! I hope so...
any other opinions?</p>
