Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm a Sophomore at Punahou in Hawaii and I've always wanted to attend Stanford all my life. What do you think are my chances if i have a 3.695 cumulative GPA?<br>

<p>Freshman:
English I
Intro to Social Studies/ Hawaiian Culture
Biology
Chemistry Honors
Geometry Honors
Concert II Orchestra
Spanish II</p>

<p>Sophomore:
English II

Alg2/Trig
Concert II Orchestra
Spanish III </p>

<p>I'm Taking JUNIOR year:
Am Lit / Composition
AP US H
AP Bio
Advanced Pre. Calc.
Concert II Orchestra
Spanish IV Honors</p>

<p>I don't really do any sports... But I manage baseball and have since the 8th grade. I am in the Key Club, Interact Club and others, Mostly service clubs. I also volunteer at a care home once a week where I go help serve them food, feed some of the elderly people who aren't able to and just talk to them, keeping them company. I am also an avid learner of ASL (American Sign Language). I'm hoping to use this and go to the Hawaii Center for Deaf and Blind afterschool and help/play with the children and stuff like that. </p>

<p>Do you think I'd have a chance??? thanks :)</p>

<p>Stanford is probably one of the top 5 most selective univerisites in America....my friend applied with a 4.0 UW, 14 AP classes, varsity sport, founded 2 clubs, had excellent essays (i read them..) awesome recs etc etc and was REJECTED early action. Stanford will have i think like a 6 or 7% acceptance rate this year and all the kids are nearly perfect. I mean it's possible you could get in but i don't really see a hook, but with a 3.7 it's gonna be really tough unless that's still top5% at ur school. good luck i was just trying to be honest stanford is EXTREMELY selective.</p>

<p>sorry... very slim chances</p>

<p>SATs? SAT2?</p>

<p>Punahou is a super hard school...</p>

<p>try to get your GPA up a tad and get great SAT/ACT and or SAT II Scores..</p>

<p>They know you come from a tough school and im sure they have had tons of applicants from there before. How did other people from Punahou fare in Stanford admissions in the past few years?</p>

<p>Also, </p>

<p>Try to get some more leadership roles. Your going to need a phenomenal app.</p>
