<p>Weak SAT scores...quite unlikely</p>

<p>Weak SAT/ACT... pretty good GPA. But everyone that applies to Stanford has a really good GPA plus amazing standardized test scores. You might be able to get in with some amazing ECs, but I don't see anything that makes you stand out for Stanford...</p>

4

<p>Stanford is unlikely, but not impossible. Are you good enough to play Division 1A tennis or basketball? Good enough for a top ranked Division 2 or 3 athletic program? What do you want to study? Answers to these questions will help posters recommend schools for your consideration. Possibly Colgate or Williams--as they are both athletic schools with outstanding academics.</p>

<p>The only way you will get into Stanford is if you are recruited</p>
