<p>I think EA (restrictive early) if you really want to go to Stanford. If you want to keep your options open then RD. Your stats are very competitive except your GPA but your senior year courses are incredibly rigorous and 10 APS in junior and senior year make for good reading for college admissions officers. Just make sure you work on those essays! they will make or break you. You’d have a better chance at Stanford if you EA</p>
