Stanford and me. Are we meant to be?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello
So I'm a high school sophmore and, per my title, I was wondering about my chances of getting in Stanford University:</p>

<p>Freshman: GPA - 4.0</p>

<p>Sophmore: GPA - 4.125
-AP Biology</p>

<p>Junior Year ( I hope): GPA - 4.713
-APES
-AP Chemistry
-AP English
-AP US History
-AP Calculus</p>

<p>Senior Year (I hope): GPS 4.5
-AP Physics
-AP Government
-Calculus II (not offered AP)
-AP English
-AP Economics</p>

<p>I have not has the chance to take the SAT or ACT but I personally think I do pretty well on standardized tests. I'm hoping for a 2200 and a 33-34. </p>

<p>I plan on taking Key Club, National Honor Society/ and German Club next year. I have also taught a jump rope clinic for the past 3 years (5 by the end of high school). I teach elementary school kids jump rope tricks for 1 hour every Wednesday. </p>

<p>I have played piano for 7 years and played alto saxophone for 4. </p>

<p>I am a part of a nationally ranked competitive jump rope team and have been jumping for 9 years. Last year I was ranked the #3 jumper in the country and the year before that I was the #1 male jumper in the country. I have jumped on the David Letterman Show as well as in the Macy's Thanksgiving Days Parade. I have appeared on ESPN 4 times. My group and I competed in the worlds jump rope competition (like our Olympics) and we placed 3rd in our age division. I have performed at BSU, U of I, and Utah Jazz basketball games. </p>

<p>I know they don't offer jump rope scholarships but I'm just hoping it's unique enough to get me accepted. Please comment back. I'd really like some feed back on what I could do better or if I even have a chance. Thanks you!</p>

<p>YOU ARE A SOPHOMORE. </p>

<p>Chances are impossible to do that early (or really even when you’re a senior).</p>

<p>The jump-roping thing sounds cool though, could be a hook. Keep up your grades, get good test scores, and keep working on your ECs.</p>

<p>Basically what math+sci=asian said, although the jump rope thing is definitely very unique, especially for a male applicant, and will certainly make you make you stand out from the many other applicants who are involved in Key Club, NHS, Science Olympiad, the math team, and the like. (That said, those EC’s can also look quite good if you’ve accomplished something REALLY significant in them, but there are so many people applying with at least one of those listed on their resumes that mere participation is definitely not enough.) Keep up the great grades, and as long as you can get good SAT scores I’d say you certainly stand a chance! :)</p>

<p>The rope jumping will make you a memorable candidate. Keep the grades and scores up.</p>
