<p>So, for starters, I'm currently a junior in high school. I go to high school in Fayetteville, AR, which is actually one of the best high schools in the state. For years I alway thought that my dream school would be U of Texas- Austin, as it's where a majority of my mom's family went and because I'm actually from San Antonio. But since learning more about the entire college landscape, my interest in universities has shifted and without a doubt, Stanford is the place I want to be. I haven't looked too much into finances yet, but from purely a chances of acceptance standpoint. This is what I've got on the board right now:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.92 (U)/ 4.03 (W)
I didn't get a chance but to take one AP class prior to 11th grade, so the weighted hasn't had much of a chance to increase to this point (honors classes don't count as weighted here, only AP).
ACT: 33
Classes taken:
Pre-AP Physical science and Biology, Honors Chemistry
Pre-AP English 9 and 10, AP Language and Comp
Honors Geometry, Algebra 1 and 2, PreCal/Trig
Pre-AP US and AP US, AP World history
2 years of Spanish
Member of HS band
Freshman basketball and track (injury)
Member of National Honor Society
Attending Governors School this summer</p>
<p>As a senior I'll be taking AP Government, AP Lit, AP Physics B, AP Calculus, AP Comp Science, Spanish 3, and band.</p>
<p>I realize I need to take the SAT and plan to do so ASAP. </p>
<p>What do you think my chances at Stanford are, and what could I do to improve them? And just speaking hypothetically, my goal is to finish HS with a 4.16 weighted and at least a 3.95ish unweighted.</p>
