<p>stanford (i heard) is extremely difficult to get in, but b/c you're a minority, then you might have a chance. i have a friend who is applying there with 15 ap courses, and a near to perfect sat score. you seem to have a wide diversity on your scale, especially with that potential patent, so i'd say your chances are maybe more than half, not slim, but i can't say definite.</p>
