<p>Sup guys!! Can ya rate me for Stanford EA??</p>

<p>I'm a white boy from Maryland</p>

<p>ACT: 34</p>

<p>SATII:
Biology: 760
World History: 710
Math IIC: 750
Should i even report these scores because I took the ACT? It's a debate for me because the 710 isnt that good, but would it look worse if I didnt report any SAT IIs at all?</p>

<p>APs:
US Government (5); Biology (5); Human Geography (5); Psychology (5); Chemistry (5); Environmental Science (5); Calc AB (5); English Lang (5); World History (5)</p>

<p>9 Fives = National AP Scholar!</p>

<p>GPA:
4.0 unweighted
4.86 weighted
Class Rank: 1 in a class of over 330</p>

<p>Misc.
I got the Maryland Princeton Book Award and the Maryland Distinguished Scholar Award, am a member of 3 Honors Societies, got 4 student of the month Awards, went to Harvard Model Congress for the past two years, took a Chinese course at a local college for 8 college credits, and went to the National Student Leadership Conference in Medicine and Healthcare at UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>Extracurricularzz:
* Founder and President of the Junior Statesmen of America; awarded National Chapter of the Month
* President of Student Advisory Committee
* Vice President of Future Business Leaders of America
* State Officer of Maryland FBLA
* Vice President of Best Buddies
* Vice President of Maryland Technology Honors Society
* President of Cure Club
* Officer on County-Wide Student Council
* Member of NHS

* I did a lot of community service things, such as volunteering at the Red Cross, the Special Olympics, the Maryland Food Bank, my county's general hospital, and other various things
* I did 2 research internships (1 on stem cells, 1 on transplantology)</p>

<p>My essay will be about me being gay, so it should be kind of meaningful</p>

<p>I'm getting a lot of really good recs:
1 from guidance counselor, of course, who really likes me
1 from another guidance counselor to whom I somehow grew closer than I did to my own gudiance counselor
1 from my biology teacher who LOVES me
1 from my mom, who was my teacher but who has a different last name than me so it won't be obvious that she's my mom
1 from my Calculus and Differential Equations teacher who is a genius from MIT (he was a part of the group that the movie 21 was based on)</p>

<p>Can I get in??</p>

<p>You look good on paper, Oprah, but Stanford's an enigma. A kid here in Cali who was Valedictorian, ASB prez, perfect SATs, etc. at a very well-respected private school was flat out denied EA. Word is they are building a well rounded class (not that the admits themselves are each well rounded) and have enough #1, perfect scoring leaders. </p>

<p>Put your heart in the essays, show how you are a standout and you certainly have a good chance. But pursue other colleges and don't get your heart set on Stanford, 'cause at the end of the day it's a dice roll for almost everyone.</p>

<p>I think you have good chances but don't they ask for your mom's name at some point in the application?</p>

4

<p>I thought Stanford only wants 4 recs max: 1 GC, 2 from teachers, and one additional rec (non-teacher)?</p>

5

<p>oh thanks for that information!
I guess I'll have to pick and choose!</p>

6

<p>bumping!!!!!</p>

7

<p>there is no direction in your application, I kind of dont see it with you and stanford, although everything else is nice :P</p>

8

<p>I think you're spread too thin... president of this and president of that and vice president of the other. Like st. aegis said, I don't see anything that shows any particular commitment or true passion.</p>

<p>only my opinion though. and i don't quite see the point of these threads anyway; we're just as clueless and anxious as you are. it seems like an ego-trip to me. whatever.</p>

9

<p>i sent stanford 5. one for art supplement. two from teachers. and one from "counselor".</p>

10

<p>Whoa! That's so cool about your calc teacher! haha</p>

11

<p>"9 Fives = National AP Scholar!"? "Earlz Admish!"? "Can ya rate me..."? "Extracurricularzz"? 5 Rec's?</p>

<p>no.</p>

<p>you like toys.....</p>

</p>

<p>wait what is this supposed to mean?</p>

13

<p>eating food are you the same person as oprah?</p>

14

<p>wow where did you get that impression?</p>

15

<p>that is a logical conclusion!!!!!!!!!
but sadly, it is fundamentally untrue.</p>

16

<p>want to explain what might be so logical?</p>

17

<p>can't!! <3
maybe if you were nicer...</p>

18

<p>Oprah! you're fine on paper. Put your life into your essay. And the multiple presidencies things worked for me. Just make sure you show how you did absolutely f---ing amazing on paper. 710 is fine for World History.</p>

19

<p>mercuz, are you an 09 person?</p>

20

<p>hahhahha we're not the same person....</p>

<p>though i guess i did lead you astray</p>
