<p>Well lets start off by saying this is my very first post so sorry if its in the wrong place or anything. Also say whatever you feel and also what i could do to increase my chances would be nice too. My feelings don't get hurt so be blunt.</p>

<p>my G.P.A. is somewhere around like 3.6 (no special weighting i think)
A.C.T.-28 (only my first time)
Ec's:student council freshman year, fbla, fca, math honor society, tennis, i'm a leader of my youth group, and i have had part time jobs</p>

<p>i figure i might have a chance because i'm a legacy my dad attended stanford for business school and i'm an african american student. just give me your honest to goodness input it would be helpful my dad is also a legacy at stanford so if you think i might have a chance there too your insight would be greatly appreciated. and if not some other colleges i might look into. </p>

<p>im a junior taking a decently hard courseload im in precal, ap us history, honors chemistry, ap english 3, trigonometry, and spanish 2. do you think me only taking 2 years of a foreign language will turn into a big deal or do you think i should take a 3rd year of spanish next year</p>

<p>next year i plan on taking ap english 4 ap calculus ap psychology ap european history mcp(microsoft certification) and sports and entertainment marketing class. i plan on majoring in something to do with business so what would you suggest me changing if anything.
What are some other schools you would suggest me applying to that i might have a chance?</p>

<p>I think you have a mediocre chance. URM status only goes so far. It's really only supposed to benefit URMs who have good grades and "above average/excellent/superior" scores. You don't have have grades and certainly not the scores. Good luck, I think you'll need it.</p>

<p>Edit: I meant to say, you don't have the grades and certainly not the scores.</p>
