Do I have any chance at Stanford?

<p>Ive overcome a lot of hardship, I come from a single parent household and my mother has MS. I'm also URM (AA). I'm going to write about having to take care of my cousin's 4 young children when she lost custody my sophomore year in the personal statement, so hopefully the dip in performance won't look as bad. I'm thinking my GPA is probably just too low in today's admissions world.</p>

<p>Freshman year: 3.4
Algebra: b
World History(year 1): b
Biology:b
French:a
English:a</p>

<p>Sophomore Year : 2.8 (F in chemistry , but I repeated junior year so it wont be counted in my GPA calculation)
Chemistry: f (I didn't have enough lab credits to sit for the exam.)
French 2: c
Geometry: b
AP World History(year2):b
AP English: a</p>

<p>Junior Year: 4.2
Chemistry: b
French 3: a

<p>There are more I can't remember.</p>

<p>AP Grades 5 on AP US
2 on AP English
1 on AP World</p>

<p>SATR: 730 M/720 W/700 Reading 2150 Composite</p>

<p>By the time I send my grades, my gpa will be a 3.4. This is probably just too low to overcome.</p>

<p>CHS Rugby 9th-11th grade
CHS Chess Captain 9th-10th grade
Volunteer with National Black Leadership Commission on Aids 9th-12th grade
Founded political awareness club 12th grade
Worked at Delta Sonic Car Wash 12th grade
Participated in Babel series 11th and 12th grade, leadership position senior year.</p>

<p>So... is there a shot in hell?</p>

<p>Uhmm, the g.p.a will most likely be too low. I think the F will still show up on your transcripts, even though it might be calculated in your g.p.a. Well, its possible, but not likely in any sense.</p>

<p>You don’t have any chance if you don’t apply.</p>
