<p>Good or bad chance?</p>

2

<p>Besides the test scores I would say yes. Did you take the SAT?</p>

3

<p>No ;/ but hopefully my essays/reccomendations help</p>

4

<p>Did you take the ACT more than once? With some study, people often go up quite a bit as they retake it. Can you retake it in December? Also, try the SAT if there is one in Dec. If you don’t do well on the SAT, you don’t have to even show it (unless Stanford is one of those VERY rare colleges that make you show every sitting of every test–the vast majority of schools, even the super-selective ones, let you pick and choose what you show). The rest of your app looks GREAT, but that 29 just might make things tougher for Stanford.</p>

5

<p>sorry to tell you but Stanford IS one of those schools, they require the score from every test you’ve ever taken. It’s a reach with that ACT</p>

6

<p>Thanks but so in recap no chance?</p>

7

<p>Not no chance, but really really tough. Just keep your fingers crossed I’d say.</p>

8

<p>Idk 29 act doesn’t match up with your ISEF and GPA. They’ll wonder about that…just fyi</p>

9

<p>Good chance. How do you know you’re the Valedictorian btw?</p>

10

<p>I think it’s way too high of a reach because of the ACT… good luck</p>

11

<p>Were you an ISEF finalist?</p>

12

<p>High match, low reach solely because of the ACT. But I truly think that your chances are higher than you think. The awards will balance that ACT out. Good luck!
