<p>im a sophomore student in some community college in illinois.. i have been looking at stanford as a transfer school after realizing how ridiculously selective UC- Berkeley is specially for out of state applicants. but the thing is, i still dont know how strong my chances are for getting accepted in stanford.
here's my stats:
45 credits completed (upon applying)
3.96 gpa
16 credits in progress
njcaa tennis varsity
4 year ncaa volleyball player
dean's and president's lister
phi theta kappa honor society member
did lots of community service stuff: enrichment program for the blind, habitat for humanity volunteer, special education volunteer teacher, taught impoverished children somewhere in the philippines
voted vice president and public relations officer of the class all through high school
national debate member
kiwanis club
yamaha music masters circle (piano)
*as for my recommendation letters and essay, i dont think ill run into any trouble with those.
i will be applying soon and am absolutely troubled by the fact that i dont have any idea yet whatsoever about my chances of getting in.. i hope some helpful soul out there will give me an insight of where i stand as an applicant with regards to my stats... thanks. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. tell me my chance... reach, match, etc.
THANKS.. I'LL GIVE COOKIES TO THOSE KIND ENOUGH TO HELP EVALUATE MY CHANCES..</p>
<p>er... You think UC-Berkeley is selective for OOS transfers? Try Stanford--it's near impossible O.o</p>

<p>By the way, why are you in a community college? SATs would be nice to take, too. Or ACT's since you're in Illinois.</p>
<p>If you were dead, you would not be able to register for classes, as Stanford only accepts living students.</p>
<p>very clever joev.. yeah.. high five for that... um, joke.</p>
<p>cortigiana-- ok.. then i guess i'll think a million times first before applying for stanford.. by the way, is there something wrong with going to a community college?.. since you asked..</p>
<p>COD!!!!!?!?!??!?!?!</p>
<p>my mom went there</p>
<p>Nope. It's just that most of us here are high school kids, so I was curious... I thought you might have an interesting story to share =)</p>
<p>I think you have as good as shot as anyone else who is well qualified. I think it really comes down to whether the admissions board thinks you're an interesting person or not.</p>
<p>Yeah, 7% acceptance rate....</p>
<p>"I think it really comes down to whether the admissions board thinks you're an interesting person or not."</p>
<p>Oops, that came out wrong. I meant what it really depends on is your essay and recommendations, how unique they are. I'm sure you're an interesting person :-).</p>
