<p>If it makes a difference, I come from a low income family and live instate.</p>

<p>Please rate my chances, I am open to any advice on how to improve my chances.</p>

<p>Nothing looks outstanding on your profile, and without knowing your actual test scores guessing your chances is totally meaningless. But even if you get all the scores you are wishing for, your chances will be pretty slim, so make sure to have good matches/safeties on your list.</p>

<p>Being from low income family might help you a little. Being instate will not.</p>

<p>Does someone else have any advice for me? Please write back.</p>

<p>Here's some advice (no offense intended in the forthcoming lines): don't depend on the opinions of a bunch of other random, anonymous kids on a college forum to judge you as a person and a viable candidate for a college, especially with such a vauge, overly generic descriptions of who you are (president of blah blah blah, mock trial winner blah blah, hospital volunteer at blah blah, NHS member blah blah, etc.). Each of us in our heart of hearts knows whether or not we truly belong at a place like stanford or if we just want to apply because that's the cool thing to do nowadays. Chances threads are kind of ridiculous because no two people are the same and someone trying to give you 'chances' is like comparing apples to oranges, except with people instead of fruit. Moral of the story: chances are a made up concept to help people cope with the anxiety of applying to college, but all they do is fuel more anxiety. if you have something you really love to do, and you apply to a bunch of schools that can give you the opportunity to explore that passion (no one school is the end all be all of anyones passion), then you'll have about a 99% "chance" of winding up happy with your life.</p>

<p>Just apply and hope for the best</p>

<p>Good luck to you. As before mentioned, we can only apply and hope for the best...sigh</p>
