<p>I go to one of the most competitive schools in Korea, and almost all of the kids I know does better than I do. Besides, because of "illegitimacy," my school's "AP courses" are not registered as AP courses.
I worked really hard for biology, and I got Bronze Prize in national competition. </p>

<p>Now, you would think that I'm crazy, but how can i get into Stanford
with this not-good GPA???? (I'm Junior.)</p>

<p>awesome...i'm intl student ,too.i think i'm not as good as you,but i will try SCEA,because that's my dream school.If i will be rejected,at least will let me know i'm not fit in.
So just give a try,GPA is not the only important factor.

<p>Your GPA is not that bad. </p>

<p>If you take the official AP testsscore well on them, it does not matter what your classes are called.</p>

<p>Being international might be a bigger problem then GPA if you need finantial aid (Stanford is NOT need-blind for internationals).</p>
