White, middle-class, not first generation or anything like that.
You have done everything you could within the reach of a normal HS student. No one can really chance Stanford with certainty who isn’t on the adcom. Cross your fingers and make alternate plans too.
Probably not. D had similar credenshals and God on her side but now attends the local community college. If you go to Stanford you’re pretentious and just looking for a name brand education when you could get one at the local community college for a lower price. The local community college is your best bet. It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond at your local community college.
@ConservativeMom2 I disagree, people have their own opinions on college, the OP simply wants to know his chances. I’d say 40-50% easily, however you would need some solid mathematical achievements to be flagged as a mathematics scholar. Do you have any olympiad qualifications? Your Intel Science Fair will look very good as well.
Honestly, your app is almost flawless and it is up to luck and how the admission officer was feeling on that day.
But be positive and don’t set your mind on one school only
