<p>Your chances are pretty slim.</p>

<p>GPA/SAT is below average in an EXTREMELY competitive pool from India. You must not only be one of the top students from your school, but one of the top students in the country to have a chance at HYPSM. Perhaps if you go to one of the most rigorous schools in the country, your chances will be much better.</p>

<p>15% chances, killer awards, but yeah u need to get GPA up.</p>

<p>AMAZING awards, and the GPA isn’t horrible, thats like a 3.7, but location kills you, if you were from a competitive school in Idaho, or New Mexico where there wasn’t as much competition for the few spots, you would have a GREAT chance! And you are applying for FA, it will be tough, but man are those awards OUTSTANDING!!!I think that they might be able to carry you to Stanford, definitely apply, we’ll see what happens, GL!!</p>

<p>Chance me?
