<p>I'm a high school junior and really interested in Stanford. I have a wide variety of interests and I think it would be a great place to explore and learn about all the things I really love and enjoy. My school doesn't offer a lot of Honors or AP classes though, so I'm concerned that's going to hurt my chances of getting in when I apply. I've been a straight A student all 3 years of high school, but only had the opportunity to take accelerated classes this year.</p>

9th: 3.98
10th: 4.0
11th: 4.5 (honors history, AP English, Chem honors)</p>
<p>Overall unweighted: 3.99
Overall weighted: 4.09</p>

<p>SAT:
-just took it, anticipating a 2000, hoping to raise it to a 2200 by the time I apply to college.
-Haven't taken subject tests yet, but my scores will be high on the ones I'm taking.</p>
<p>Next year, I will be taking a lot of science classes: honors anatomy, environmental science or marine science, and honors physics. I want my passions to be really clear, i.e. art, writing, and environmental conservation. Soon I'll be volunteering regularly doing beach cleanups, as well as starting an art series incorporating local endangered wildlife and animals. </p>
<p>How do you think my chances look?
What should I work on?</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
