<p>SOOOOO I'm a rising junior hoping for Stanford. I would love to go there for computer science. I know Stanford is really big on the whole "show us personality and interest in you application" thing. I was wondering what kind of summer activities would be good to emphasize my interest in computer science. (OTHER than taking the classes: Intro, C++, and AP Java).... Any ideas??</p>
<p>Thanks :D</p>
<p>It is a bit late to find summer activities…That being said at this point just do something you will enjoy, consider volunteering a bit too.</p>
<p>You could always work on a personal project that shows your passion, skill and work ethic. Stanford is well known for its students dropping out to nurture their own tech startups; if anything, this shows that they tend to select CS students with an independent, entrepreneurial mindset.</p>
