<p>I'm in the APEX (Advanced Placement Experience) program at my school, which is the most rigorous and selective program that we offer. I plan on majoring in Psychology and following the Pre-Law program. I know my EC's and GPA are weakk so hoping to compensate for that in essay/recs.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Great SAT score, strong GPA. But your awards/honors are weak, your ECs show a lack of focus and not much leadership, and you're an ORM, so Stanford's going to be tough. However, I do think you have a pretty good chance. Try to highlight a passion/focus in your essays.</p>

3

<p>I like the fact that you have a NIH internship. I think that will put some weight in your application. :)</p>

4

<p>Just apply and see. You should be "in the running"...</p>

5

<p>your gpa is really low, what class rank are you, top 1%, 5%, 10%? Your EC's also show a lack of dedication or passion. Most only during 11th and 12th grade and almost only academic clubs. Doesn't show any balance in activities. NYLF just shows that you paid $$ to spend a week in DC, not any leadership. Being asian doesn't 'help either. Didn't mean to bash you, just providing truth. Have fun.</p>
