<p>I agree; rethink applying early. Stanford may not receive the scores in time, as they accept and reject students with low scores early in their process. They are well-known for rejecting more than deferring than other colleges. In other words, you may get in regular, but be rejected early.</p>
<p>The writing is not that big of a deal, and should go up automatically with better CR. The problem is, CR is really a measure of how well you can understand articles. This is not a skill that will suddenly be gained with a little studying over the summer. I would say that you need to start reading a wide variety of types of literature, and doing whatever it takes to understand WHAT you are reading. Keep a journal or something similar. Then do some practice tests as you get closer to the test.</p>
