My chances at Stanford? :[

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>After a few really strong candidates got rejected SCEA from my school, I'm slightly worried that I will not be even given the waitlist...should I even submit the application? </p>

<p>-Asian female (gasp!) applying for something pre-med-ish.
-ACT: 35 composite, 9 essay (using this in lieu of sat + subject tests)
-GPA: 3.89/4.3W; top 10% I guess?
-AP: US, BC, English, Chem, Micro: 5, 4, 5, 5, 5
-Recs: I can't read them, but I assume they're okay.
-I have solid roles in five "well-rounded" (aka diverse...bad?) extracurricular activities (Environmental club, newspaper editor, volunteer club, Science Society, club sport), have a leadership role this/last year in the student body, and have had several internships/quality work experiences.
-I also volunteer at the local library/homeless shelter and tutor students, and two summers ago I volunteered in Africa.</p>

<p>Wow, the more I write this the more depressing it seems. I look more and more like a cookie cutter student when I look at this. I'm also really worried about my diversity in my extracurricular activities?
Anyways, National Merit Semifinalist, AP Scholar, small school and community awards and blah blah blah...oh, and I write awesome essays. Trust me.
I know this isn't a lot of information, but I'm pretty suspicious of putting too much personal information out on the internet.
I really really appreciate your chancing me! Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>Hello! i think nobody can say they have a high/low chance seriously.
just try your best and you will get to where you belong.
i’m not very sure abt chances. but personally the only advice i can give you is try to find sth in common in everything you do. think hard on why you did them and how they helped you develop as a person.
i’m a 2014er too and rather pessimistic as you are.
but i want to move on and no matter what happens i will give a shot at Stanford.
i have been dreaming abt it way too hard.
cheer up and good luck!</p>
