My only advice is to ignore the rude and unconstructive posts on this thread. Whenever you ask for your chances on CC so many people will say that you have no chance at all. You always have a chance of admission even if your stats are lower than the average. I mean an average SAT score of 2100 means that 50% of the students scored less that score and 50% scored above. So many people act like you will never get in unless you score above the average. I have read a lot of posts where people have gotten accepted into their reaches when people on this site told them that they would never get accepted. I made it into my reach school even though my stats were far below the average. Don't let what anyone says on this site discourage you.

<p>I hope you didn't include me in your sweeping analysis, my post was just giving facts I'd gathered, and clearing up a few misconceptions (namely, the weighted vs unweighted GPA average at Stanford). I'm not saying the poster has no chance or that the poster has to be above average to get in, I'm just saying that they are below the stats of most accepted students--and that improving those stats would increase their chance. I don't claim to have the final verdict on a person's chances.</p>
