Stanford Chances so far...?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a junior in HS right now and these are my current stats and EC's etc:</p>

<p>3.9 UW GPA / 4.6 W </p>

<p>I just took my SAT 2 weeks ago and should be getting those scores soon.</p>

<p>EC: NHS, Spanish Honor Society, Drama Club, Charity Water Club, Invisible Children Club, Readers Anonymous (book club), and I am in the process of starting/ being president of Animal Welfare club on campus. </p>

<p>Achievements:
1) Went to Africa and volunteered my time with Lion and Cheetah cubs in Zimbabwe helping to rescue them and return them to their natural habitat. </p>

<p>2) Helped teach African school children in Zimbabwe about wildlife conservation.</p>

<p>3) Became a member of the Goldren Retriever Society of Arizona and set up a fundraiser to raise close to $2,000 for the charity.</p>

<p>4) Was a foster home for 7 cats at any given time.</p>

<p>5) Volunteered over 200+ hours with NHS + other community service clubs. </p>

<p>6) Internship with the EPA in D.C one summer.</p>

<p>7) Internship at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ.</p>

<p>8) Took a year of Spanish over the summer just to get ahead to the highest level by senior year and challenge myself.</p>

<p>I've taken all honors/AP classes.</p>

<p>My honors chemistry teacher went to Stanford and she's going to write me an excellent rec letter.</p>

<p>I know my SAT/ACT score and essays are a huge part of the admissions process, but until I can report those, am I on a good track for Stanford ?</p>

<p>It’s a reach, but if you can maintain a 2300+ SAT/34+ ACT, it’s manageable.</p>

3

<p>I was just wondering …why is it a reach?</p>

4

<p>Because people with 2400 SAT, 36 ACT, and impressive ECs have been turned away from Stanford. It’s a reach for everyone, not just you.</p>

<p>Read more of the chance threads, and go look up some of the results threads for Stanford. You’ll see why Stanford is a reach, for EVERYONE.
But keep up the good work- you definitely have a shot.</p>

<p>Unless you have hooks, your chance of getting into Stanford is less than 5% even with 3.9+ and 2350+.</p>
