<p>-- okay just kidding, im actually a high school sophomore. but that's likely what my resume will look like. What should I do in addition to this to ensure a better chance when I'm an actual senior?
eg. more volunteer? focus on a certain research? more music?
-- what are my chances if i were to apply as is? </p>
<p>I don’t know why you’d bother posting what your stats “should” be when you’re a senior. All of this is just conjecture and on top of it it’s likely still a high rich, save your being a hugely underrepresented minority or some absolutely incredible musician/athlete that Stanford recruits.</p>
<p>Stanford is near impossible for most people to get into. Post back when you’re a junior and have your SAT/ACT scores and your SAT2 scores.</p>
<p>Well this is where I’m currently at.

will do summer internship for sure.</p>
<p>I’d just like a bit of guidance, although I know that this may seem too far fetched and early. </p>
<p>If you end up getting around a 2200, it may be a consideration (it’s still a bit of a reach considering that you haven’t done anything that makes you truly stand apart other than the piano competitions), but until then you should just wait. You’re doing fine for a sophomore in high school, but I think you should wait until you actually get into your junior year and can say definitively what your SAT is to ask for your chances. Good luck!</p>
<p>You’re worrying too early for guidance that none of us will be able to give.
Work hard, don’t stress (too much), do things you’re passionate about.</p>
