<p>everyones profile looks exactly like yours: excellent grades, excellent test scores,math champion, band,sports,track,etc. What is really going to set you apart is your essay/essays.</p>

3

<p>Nothing extraordinary in your ECs.</p>

4

<p>Any suggestions or is it too late?</p>

5

<p>It's not "too late" until you've got a rejection letter in your hands. Write stellar essays. Display your passion (cliched I know). Show them what you'll add to the Stanford community. I tend to agree with the above posters, but maybe there's some passion / interest I'm not seeing.</p>

<p>k thanks :)</p>

10

<p>OMG. your stats improved like crazy!
ur #1 choice still MIT?</p>

11

<p>Nah, my ACT's are 32.
But I'm confident I can get at least 34 since I ran out of time for English and didn't really study for it.
And Cal tech is my new #1.
I think I'll either go math/physics or like aeronautics or premed.
Your doing SCEA for Standford right?</p>
