<p>Reflection:
Strengths: Subjective parts.
Weaknesses: SAT, 80 in Math during junior year because of attendance, Stanford INT' financial aid is very competitive (official data is acceptance rate of ~0.2%.)</p>

<p>Your scores are very low for Stanford. Why is retaking the SAT irrelevant? I’m pretty sure Stanford will accept Octber SAT results - check their website.</p>

<p>You say your GPA is 93% (4.0). It’s only a 4.0 if you received an A (above 90% on the typical US grading scale) in every class you have ever taken. An average of 93% is rarely a 4.0.</p>

<p>Unless you have a hook, or your ECs and personality bowl them over, I think it’s a very long shot…</p>

<p>Ok, thanks for the input.
The SAT went great so the threat also is irrelevent.
