<p>lol i love how your work experience goes from "NASA - Image-based wavefront sensing with FFT's" to a cashier at taco grande. can you pm your essays to me?
i think you have a pretty good shot</p>
<p>Haha...it was to get some real world experience you know? Plus, it was in the mall so I got a lot of visits from friends...</p>
<p>Clearly, not all students with your SAT score are rejected. In fact, the median SAT score for Stanford admits is right around yours (you might even be right on the median). That being said, Stanford accepts (I believe) about one fourth of valedictorians. To me, your application is consistent with the typical val, so I would give you about a one in four shot.</p>
