<p>I have a feeling I’ve seen these stats just a moment ago…(: put all your colleges on one post and put it in the chances section, it’s much easier. But anyway you buff genius, I wouldn’t worry about it. Ivy Leagues and what not might be a crapshoot for anyone, but you’re looking much better than most. Pretty outstanding stats AND incredible athletic ability. I’d say you have a good chance anywhere…</p>

<p>Your stats and ECs are outstanding. Really work on your essays and you should do fine.</p>

5

<p>yes and its good to see you got most improved in your sports that shows that you are dedicated and a hard worker!</p>

6

<p>I mean you obviously deserve to get in but you don’t have a major Hook that I see. Unless that triathlon thing means alot.</p>

7

<p>Did you try getting recruited for athletics?</p>

<p>Obviously you’re outstanding dude, congrats on all of your achievements! :slight_smile: As far as I know Stanford does have a soft spot for athletes, a lot of my fellow 2015 admits that I’ve met excel in some sport. Obviously, Stanford is hard for anyone to get in, but you’re definitely on the right track. Just follow what golfblackhole said and really work hard on showing yourself through your essays! I personally think that’s what really separates those who get in versus those who don’t, since pretty much all applicants have a stellar resume.</p>
