<p>Okay, so I admit I used to find these chance threads very annoying and it seemed like everyone posting just wanted acknowledgment of their amazingness and were fishing for compliments, but I am so sick of waiting that I'm wondering if someone could chance me for Stanford......okay, here I go:</p>

<p>I suppose I'm posting here because the Princeton forum seems a bit more lively than others. Thanks for reading this! </p>

<p>SAT I: 2200
GPA uw: 3.87
-I don't know rank, but I go to a competitive college prep school in St. Paul, Minnesota and have taken the most rigorous course load available and plan to take another math class this summer (which I noted in my "additional information" section).</p>

<p>Varsity sports:
Soccer - 4 years (all conference 3 years, captain senior year, top GPA on team - academic excellence award)
Basketball - 4 years (captain 2 years, all-conference 3 years, about 1,700 pts. in career - all-time leading scorer @ my school)
Track -4 years, various awards, all-conference 2 years, hold 1600m record (but just for girls haha).</p>

<p>EC:
Math Club (club leader 11, 12)
Science Club (leader 11, 12)
MOSAIC Diversity Club (leader 11,12)
Environmental Club (Leader 11,12)
Amnesty International
Tutors' Guild</p>

<p>300+ hours of community service (including service trips to Mexico and Tanzania, wrote about Tanzania for CommonApp essay)
-various projects on my reservation; raise money and awareness at my school</p>

<p>Jobs:
US Soccer certified referee - grade 8 (since 10th grade)
job at German Christmas store since beginning of 11th grade</p>

<p>Essays:
I really liked all of them. As I said, main one is about what I learned in Tanzania.
IV: my math teacher in 10th grade (who is now part of the Peace Corps in Tanzania)
Roommate: About MOSAIC and my being Native American and what I have learned from both and how I have shared this at my school.
Why Stanford?: I love this one...I felt like it was personal, but also showed that I had seriously researched Stanford and discovered it as a perfect fit.
<--If you want to read any of these, just PM me and give me some feedback.</p>

<p>Other Factors:
American Indian and quite involved with my tribe. I've spoken with Stanford's "liaison" to Native applicants quite a bit, developed a quite good relationship, I don't know if this helps at all, but I'm pretty sure she is on the adcom.</p>

<p>Chance me for these schools as well (if you want to):
-Washington University in St. Louis
-Duke
-Northwestern
-Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Stanford and WU are my top choices for sure. Also, do you think I have any chances at getting invites to any of these schools "multicultural weekends" or a likely letter? I dunno.....any input is appreciated! Wado!</p>

<p>What do you guys think? And, honestly, I am not trying to fish for compliments, I'm just very anxious! Thanks for reading this and good luck to all!!

<p>From dpattz on Harvard thread: Hey, so I'm posting this on here because Harvard seems to have a very lively forum!</p>

<p>From dpattz on Princeton thread: I suppose I'm posting here because the Princeton forum seems a bit more lively than others.</p>

<p>Well, both are, are they not? Look at the number of posts on both of them....anyways, why do you care what I do? I'll stop posting, I really do need to, but I don't really know why you are so fussed.....?</p>
