Majoring in: Computer Science

Most of my essays were about computer science and theoretical physics and how that relates to me. I felt they were solid. The thing that worries me is that I feel like I’m the typical “well-rounded” student that you’re not supposed to be; I didn’t start a cool business, I didn’t cure cancer, I just did practically everything my school offered.

So, what do you think my chances are?
And do you think I would be a strong candidate for my second choice, Berkeley? (I’m from AZ though).
If I apply to like, all the ivies, do you think I’m likely to get into at least one?
p.s. thank you for taking the time to read this.

As you said yourself, your application seems very typical and nothing stands out too much. Your GPA is pretty good, however.
I would say that you have a good chance of getting in if your essays+reccomendations are spectacular. Your chances would depend on that, but if you want percents, then I’d say 30% with great essays/recommendations, and 5% with good essays/recommendations.
Of course, I’m no expert, I’m just a high school freshman who wastes his time researching Stanford 24/7. I do believe my estimates are very close to what could be expected, though.

Hey, anything helps. Thank you so much.

Chances are lousy. It’s Stanford :slight_smile: Your stats are as good as any candidate there. All you can do is submit your application and see what happens. It’s nothing to stress over.
