<p>Stanford doesn’t have ED haha… Your scores (and GPA) and your race don’t quite agree with each other, if you know what I mean… The other Asians’ll have 2400s and 800s and 4.0s and published medical research… I will say, however, that having a book published looks pretty good(: I don’t think your chances are very high, but hey, you never know. Best of luck, and congrats on getting published(:</p>
<p>What do you mean you got a book published? There are many vanity presses and self-publishing houses that a grandmother with half-baked poetry and recipes could “get a book published”. Who is your publisher? What type of book? The merit of getting published as a tool for admissions to elite colleges will rest on the exact nature of the publisher and type of book. Otherwise it is a non-starter and could make you appear excessively naive.</p>
<p>My son had stronger stats than you across the board and did not get admission to Stanford (no worries, he is quite happy at Berkeley). I would say that since your stats do not make you stand out, and the publication aspect is still in question, you need to have amazing essays to even get noticed by the adcoms. I would say you have a moderate to low chance at Stanford without further information to go on.</p>
<p>Your chances are 0% for ED since that doesn’t exist.</p>
<p>Anyway, for EA your chances are also low because your EC’s are weak and GPA and SAT are relatively weak for Stanford applicants. Also, no math course senior year?</p>
