<p>wow props on math and writing...but still stanford is hardcore focused on the test scores, so i'd retake again and focus on reading...if you can get a higher reading score and they take your other two scores, you'll be REALLY well qualified. everything else looks great.</p>

3

<p>kk thanks...yea my CR needs work. Thats what ill do this summer (in addition to Bio and CHem)</p>

4

<p>no those stats are terrible. What are you thinking of applying to stanford. Your SAT II's would probably earn you an outright rejection without a look</p>

5

<p>^Haha, I hope you're joking. You're chances aren't that great solely because of your CR score, but it'll matter less if you're applying to engineering (as you have a 1490 M+V anywayz). What you need to do is improve your sub-700 scores to give yourself a better chance.</p>

6

<p>Your scores are alright. At Stanford essays the most important fact period. They are EXTREMELY important, and recs play a major role as well. You could have a 1900 and write an amazing, original essay and get in. But yeah, you're on the correct track.</p>

7

<p>Is this a brag post? But anyways Stanford is really random on its admissions so its a reach for anyone. Good luck. Stats look good btw.</p>

8

<p>lol are you joking backfire? an 800 on mathIIC is great, and if you retake Biology like you say you will and do 750+ you will have a good shot. if this person's stats are not good enough (disregarding the SATs they'll be taking) then what would you consider satisfactory?</p>

9

<p>So, basically I need to raise my Bio and more importantly, Critical Reading to 700+s. I can go 750+ for bio, but for CR 700 is good enough. I'm applying for engineering so a Cr score of 800 may not be necessary (although it'd be nice).</p>

10

<p>...You're wrong. If engineering is what you want then stop retaking to get a higher score in something you're not going to pursue. Colleges don't look for people who get perfect scores for everything. They look for people who have a direction in life and who know exactly what they want to do.</p>

11

<p>academic looks good, but the ECs need improvement. Any sports?</p>

12

<p>YEa you might have missed the whole tennis thing, and debate, and its ac...</p>

13

<p>do you go to a private highschool? my school doesn't even offer than many AP classes, no AP US Gov, no AP World History..but we have AP physics</p>

14

<p>nah I go to a public school in Montgomery County. ITs sposed to be one of the top counties, so the course work is great.</p>

15

<p>I think you definetly have a chance, and I feel that any score over 2100 has a chance, so it'll probably depend on the rest of your application</p>

16

<p>Guard: My D goes there(loves it BTW). I will be shocked if you don't get admitted. Good luck!</p>
