<p>Stanford may be a bit of a reach with those stats for some one raised here, but due to your background, i think you have a fairly good shot</p>

<p>But Stanford's admission is so arbitrary, i can't really say whether you're in or not</p>

<p>everything's more or less mediocre
i wouldn't say you have that spectacular of a chance, but you definitely have A chance</p>

<p>Not that great of chances. Good luck :)</p>
