<p>With SCEA and higher SAT scores, you should have no trouble getting in.</p>
<p>Are you a legacy at Stanford? Idaho might be more attractive to UPenn than Stanford though.</p>
<p>Yes, I am a legacy at Stanford. What SAT scores do you think would be a minimum for me to raise mine to in order to increase my chances. </p>
<p>Also, do you truly believe that “(I) should have no trouble getting in”?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The closer you are to a 2400, the better. 2300+ is where you should be for SCEA.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. I think you have a great chance at getting accepted. That said, it’s still a crap shoot so if you end up getting rejected, don’t be surprised.</p>
<p>I doubt that I will be able to get a 2300+.
What else can I do to increase my overall profile?</p>
<p>It won’t help you. Quit BSing about scores, people. I got into Stanford with a 31 ACT. Stanford only looks at your scores after reviewing everything else. If they don’t like you by the time they look at your scores, a 2300 is not going to help.</p>
<p>Get a respectable score and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Should I definitely apply SCEA or would I be better off to apply regular?</p>
<p>^ Is Stanford your number one choice? If so, then yes apply early.</p>
<p>I am almost equally split between Georgetown, Penn, and Stanford.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t apply ED if Stanford is among your first choices.
My advice would be to apply REA to S. You might not even want to apply to Penn and Gtown if you get in, but you’ll always have the option to. Also, contrary to popular belief, the REA pool is NOT more competitive than the RD pool.</p>
