<p>I'd say you've got a great shot. 60% +. Location and ethnicity? You might be more of a toss up, say if you're Asian male from CA...</p>

<p>"I also just got selected as scholar athlete for the school and nominated as the rep for our school for the principal's leadership award. " You should notify Stanford of these additonal Honors asap. Contact your GC and ask him to find out the best way for you to get this into your file and to your admissions rep's attention.</p>
