<p>I was wondering if you could help me decide whether I should go early or regular to Stanford.
I'm ranked in the top 10 in my class.
Unweighted around 3.8. Weighted around 4.25.
All my classes this year are AP except 1 honors and I've taken the most challenging classes since freshman year.
SATs of 2200 first time and waiting on second scores
300+ hours of community service
leadership positions in 4 organizations/sports
Letterman + many awards in 2 sports.
My thought is that if I go regular, I will be applying with a higher GPA and probably higher test scores. The past few years, Stanford has only accepted 1 person from my school who has been ranked #1. This year, however, I know for a fact that the person ranked 1 won't be applying so that puts me in a dilemma. Is it worth the risk of getting rejected early when I can apply regular with a higher GPA? What should I do?</p>
<p>Id avoid going early because thats when the strongest applicant pool is in this situation</p>
