I saw Stanford allows an art supplement guys! Maybe my low gpa is not the end yet, taking the SAT in June and hoping for around a 2200
So you can pay around 55,000$ in costs a year if you plan on going to a UC?
No, after speaking with them, I think there’s a small list of out of state schools my parents would break the bank for
Stanford is one of them, UF is the state school i’m hoping too get in (my freshman year gpa sucks)
After recalculating i realized my stanford uw is 3.85
Hey man, I’m kinda similar to you! I’m Indian as well, male, and living in Florida. In response to your question, I personally think that you are qualified for Stanford, but you should definitely try to do something extra to boost your app. Your GPA and EC’s are alright, but when it comes to Stanford, you definitely need to stand out. I would suggest trying out some summer programs?
@aurthur You’re definitely wrong in associating big schools with better professors/environment. Plenty of LACs are on par with the Ivies and Stanford. For music to be a hook, however, you’ll have better luck at larger universities.
i’m actually looking at the stanford pre-collegiate program, while I was accepted to the Berklee School of Music summer program with a partial scholarship, I think an academic program might serve me better (I study music regardless)
Does anyone know anything about the pre-collegiate program? It looks awesome, but i’m seeing some people frown upon it as a fundraising technique for ivies
(yes I know stanford is not an ivy) *elite schools
