<p>I think your SAT is fine, since Stanford will be looking at your highest between act and sat. 34 is a good enough score. From looking at this, I'd say that you're academically qualified for Stanford. So you have as good as chance as most that apply to Stanford SCEA (it's not early decision btw).I the key player here will be your essays.</p>

<p>despite the fact that you don't know that it's early action and not early decision, i think you have a pretty good chance</p>
