<p>Vampiro, you have a decent shot at Stanford:</p>

<p>Your international status will hurt you, esp. that you're seeking financial aid. Your scores are excellent and your grades are solid as well, and your strong focus on compters is nice. Your other EC's are pretty nondescript. I think if you go SCEA you have a pretty damn good shot.</p>

<p>Stanford isn't need-blind?</p>

<p>in all cases but international students</p>

<p>vampiro, if you are an international student applying from India then I have to say that your chances are minimal despite excellent stats.</p>
