<p>I know a person who has 8 people in his family who have gone to Stanford. His grandparents and parents donate large sums of money to the university. Does this greatly increase his chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Definitely. This person is probably a shoo-in with somewhat competitive stats.</p>
<p>well, he has a 3.6 GPA (4.2 weighted)
New SAT:
Critical Reading: 690
Math: 740
Writing: 680</p>
<p>Subject Tests:
US History: 760
Chemistry: 750
Math IIC: 770</p>
<p>wants to major in international relations or economics </p>
<p>he's the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper
volunteers
national merit commended
played tennis
in clubs</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p>those are pretty competitive aren't they?</p>
<p>by the way, he applied early</p>
<p>I would say he's in.</p>
<p>yup I agree...
with those stats and his legacy it'd be odd for him to NOT get in...
sadly.. he's taking someone's spot at stanford on here</p>
<p>thanks. that's what i thought.</p>
<p>lol he's not neccessarily taking the spot of someone on here! he's only taking the spot of someone not too qualified =]...<em>keeps telling self that</em></p>
<p>lol... someone less qualified than him</p>
<p>lol less qualified than he
