<p>dang that sounds like some good stats
how’s your essay though? I think alot of it hinges on what/how you write and how you package yourself
But definitely you’re impressive…really impressive</p>

<p>wowwww Further IB Maths SL and 5.43 GPA…and 1rst in state science competitions… Ok it is like this:
You have a really reallllllly good change of getting admissions to Stanford. I mean your GPA and SAT meet the demands. Your extra curricular activities easily meet the admission demand. Assuming you dont make a blunder in the essay, I am pretty sure you are getting in.</p>

<p>One of my friends recently got into Stanford. He got a good GPA, good SAT scores and won some random science research competition. Quite good but nothing exceptional I suppose. </p>

<p>But one little question- Why aren’t you applying to MIT? You seem to be an able candidate.</p>

<p>:D Cheers!</p>

<p>Ok thx guys. I was a little worried about the SAT because i heard most people with a 2300 or less don’t get in. It’s nice to know that the essay is my only concern.</p>

<p>Xenekaro, I’m not applying to mit early cuz they have early decision and i like stanford better anyway.</p>

<p>^Be more careful with the research. The last time I checked, MIT still has non-binding EA.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If you end up applying to Stanford early, the odds are that you’re going to be worrying about college on the April 1st decision day.</p>

<p>Most people with 2300 or less don’t get in.</p>

<p>At any school with a sub 10% admit rate, most students with just about any metric you can think of don’t get in.</p>

<p>Your are an ORM, that further complicates things. If you’re from CA or another overrepresented state, well, good luck.</p>

<p>You have a shot, but frankly, most kids on this board don’t have a clue. Have your apps for other schools ready.</p>

<p>Worth a shot, but Redroses is right.</p>

8

<p>Stanford actually has a mandate that they must take a large proportion of CA residents, so being from instate won’t hurt. (Around 42% of students are from in-state.)</p>

<p>Your stats look fine, you will just need some luck and a convincing essay!</p>

<p>Well…I’m not from california so…should i be worried?</p>

10

<p>Fauve is 100% incorrect. Stanford has no such mandate and is working to reduce the number from CA.</p>

<p>What state are you from?</p>

<p>I’m from Texas.</p>
