<ol>
<li><p>Stanford only has EA, not ED.</p></li>
<li><p>Raise your standarized test scores/GPA</p></li>
<li><p>ECs are pretty weak</p></li>
<li><p>For a potential music major, you don’t seem to have many music ECs…Just jammin’ with some friends on your guitar won’t impress Stanford.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Yeah, I’m harsh.</p>
