<p>Do I have a Chance?</p>

2

<p>you definitely have a great chance</p>

3

<p>Your probability for EA acceptance is 21.25%, 22.75% for deferral, 25% chance of EA rejection, 21% chance of RD acceptance, and 10% chance of wait list. </p>

<p>Just kidding. (But you wanted random people on the internet's opinion on chances).</p>

<p>You are statistically sound, but so is everyone else. Write stellar essays to make yourself stand out.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

4

<p>average asian, SATs are good but not absolutely outstanding, ECs seem alright but not particularly notable in the stanford applicant pool (partially because you're asian). Make sure your recs and essays are great! good luck!!</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I honestly agree to what explode said about me. Do you guys think being from New Jersey will hurt or will help or no difference?</p>
