<p>No matter what your scores, extracurricular, etc you need to remember that Stanford has (approximately) 5% acceptance rate. Thus i would put you at a reach.
Though honestly I say that to everyone…including myself.
There’s no real point in posting “chance threads” anyways. None of us are admissions officers and (even if we were) it’s impossible to really get a feel for your application without reading your essays. Nonetheless your scores look good, so (putting Stanford aside) I’m sure you’ll be fine as far as admissions are concerned.</p>
<p>Stanford is a roll of the dice for pretty much everyone. You are definitely a very well qualified candidate, but the admission process is too tricky to say anything with certainty. I’d say you have as good a chance as anyone!</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>This may sound harsh, but like saif235 said, there’s really no point in chances threads, half of CCers seem to be unable to accept this fact. In the time your worrying about your chances, edit your essays, really work on your application. All you can do to maximize your chances. Also discouraging is the international pool is way more competitive than the domestic pool, fyi.
And btw, SAT subject tests are all self-studied. I haven’t heard of anybody taking a class for those, or being tutored. Leave out the “self-studied” part.
Lastly, I certainly hope you have other schools on your mind other than Stanford. If that’s all you’re applying to, or you’re not applying reach anywhere else, change your mind before it’s too late. Apply to other, less difficult to be admitted schools, such as Carnegie Mellon (amazing comp sci) or Berkeley. I’m assuming this from your username, which makes you seem like you’re blind to everything but Stanford. Also pro tip: don’t use “HopeForStanford, HopefulMITer, IWillKillForMIT, etc” IMO, it gives you a negative first impression. At least with me it does.</p>
<p>Edit: I’ve looked at your other posts, and I’ve gotta say. STOP ASKING FOR CHANCES. PEOPLE WHO ARE DEEMED AS HAVING FANTASTIC CHANCES ARE COMMONLY REJECTED ON CC. AND VICE VERSA. IT’S NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OF EVALUATION. STOP IT! WORK ON YOUR COLLEGE APPS IN THAT TIME!</p>
<p>Like the others said, forget about this “chancing”. All this does is either encourages you or discourages you. But your stats are incredible, now go work on your essays!</p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Thank you all my friends for the valuable advices!</p>
