Current student offering application advice

<p>@teddyjessie probably not. they’ve got thousands of applications. but it’s still not a good thing. </p>

<p>@muckdogs07 there is a place for everyone here. </p>

<p>@scienceman1 test scores are just one part of the process. you have lowered your chances, but you never know. </p>

<p>@iman123194 yes. after a certain threshold, it doesn’t matter anymore IMO</p>

<p>Does Stanford look at Homeschoolers differently?
I have taken 6 SAT II’s to show my academic achievement in relation to the public schooled population. I scored 750+ on four of them and 700+ on two of them. two sciences, one math, two history, and one english.
would this alleviate any worries about the standard of my education?</p>

<p>oh and my SAT is 2200-2300</p>

<p>@aokijack scores are fine. Many homeschooled kids that I know took classes at college or online programs to supplement learning. If you haven’t done that, it’s okay. But I can’t really give you a statistical chance because being homeschooled is very subjective.</p>

<p>I didn’t take any formal course for my high school education but I have compiled around 30 credits at the local college around me.
Were there a lot of homeschooled kids at Stanford?</p>

<p>@aokijack I’ve met exactly 2. They aren’t exactly a large group on campus.</p>

<p>odds are against me then… thank you!</p>

<p>im currently a junior and my gpa is really weak right now its a little bit better than yours 3.6 with the strongest courseload possible at my school (multiple aps don’t know ap test scores yet) . i took the SATs in october and got a 2110 and plan on taking it again hopefully 2250+. im going to have at least 3-5 leadership positions ranging from newspaper to student council and politics to community service. that i actually put a lot of time in in addition to playing a varsity sport, being really involved in art (national art honor society), and piano (placed in an international competition).
i kind of slacked off freshman and sophomore year as well. what im trying to say is that if i get a really high sat score, will it sort of “substitute”/ “make up for” my weak gpa? do i stand any chance at all? teacher and counselour recs will be really impressive. and i also have 8 undergrad credits from harvard</p>

<p>Hey,
I just wanted to ask if you did the interview that Stanford offers and if you did, how much do you think it affected the outcome?</p>
