<p>It’s totally worth the application fee</p>
<p>and this might help you out a bit

<p>I’m on page 2 if you’re curious, you have a stellar app in my opinion</p>
<p>You have a hook, though. 
I’m an over-represented minority (Asian). The other two applicants after you are very similar to me with better GPAs and both of them got rejected.</p>
<p>Here is Standford’s Common Data Set:
[Stanford</a> University: Common Data Set 2012-2013](<a href=“http://ucomm.stanford.edu/cds/2012]Stanford”>Stanford Common Data Set | University Communications)</p>
<p>92% have a GPA above 3.75.</p>
<p>I’m sure that’s true.
However, if that margin of 3.75 and up were divided into intervals of 3.75, 3.80 and so on, I think you’d see something decidedly different.
Like more than 80% of those accepted with a 3.75 or more have a 3.9+.</p>
<p>I think you are focusing to much on GPA. Think of this: If a school that weights grades had 25% of its students with a GPA of 4.25, and a student there had a 4.05, would that student have a better chance than you? So the question is, how are you doing compared to your classmates at your school?
If I remember correctly from our Stanford visit, the admissions officer said they use their OWN weighting scale. Your GPA may be different to them, than it is to you.
I’m just not sure your GPA is going to be a problem for you.</p>
<p>I suppose. I’m just going to try as hard as I can to excel from this point and hope for the best.
Thank you for all of your advice.</p>
<p>Guys, that’s his unweighted GPA. Give him a break, for all we know he can have over a 4.5 weighted. </p>
<p>Either than that, his extra curricular activities are great.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
