<p>I'm expecting good recs, and I'm a decent writer. I'm extremely passionate about everything I do, which is why I dont have a lot of extracurriculars.
I'm planning on submitting the arts supplement for dance.
I am a white female and I go to a competitive public school.</p>

<p>what are my chances? Stanford is my dream school and I know its random and really competitive. I'm applying regular decision, since I want to make my arts supplement to be really good.</p>

<p>I believe you have a very good chance at getting in because you are a female pursuing engineering and you have excellent grades, extracurriculars, and test scores. I’m envious of your test score! (I’m also a dancer too. I’ve been dancing for 14 years.) Also what’s even more astounding is that you show interest in both dance and science. I wish you the best of luck on your essays! </p>

<p>You’ve got a great shot. Stellar test scores, female, and you show dedication to your EC’s. There’s really not much else to say, just make sure your essays are good and you should be in.</p>

<p>are my extracurriculars weak? i’m worried i didn’t do any research or any long term ecs related to engineering.</p>

<p>I don’t think your EC’s are weak. Stanford cares more about your dedication to your activities rather than the amount you have. Quality over quantity.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance. Stanford is very hard to get into so of course you are not guaranteed acceptance. You should apply and I think you very well could get in. Good luck! :)</p>
