<p>New community college student and trying extremely hard to have transferable requirements for Stanford. But I'm afraid I may be lacking in many ways. I didn't take the ACT and my SAT scores are low (550 in Reading, 580 in Math and 510 in Writing). My highschool GPA was not that great either (3.67). However, I am participating in as many extracurricular activities and am enrolling in rigorous courses. The probabilities of me getting accepted are indeed very low but I have hope. I still have three more semester but I want to start off strong and finish strong. I am anticipating to join PTK (Phi Theta Kappa), receiving "Honors Scholar" and become an active officer of H.O.P.E (Hmong Opportunity Program for Education). Will my chances still be as low or not.</p>
<p>Stanford is the only university that offers my wanted majors. (English Literature and Creative Writing) [-O< </p>
<p>“Stanford is the only university that offers my wanted majors. (English Literature and Creative Writing)”</p>
<p>…Really?</p>
<p>Lower your expectations, Stanford is a reach for everybody, and your high school stats are nothing spectacular. You also provide no info on your college GPA</p>
<p>Suggestion: take ten seconds to look at Stanford’s website. You’ll find that they announce, in the first sentence on the page related to transfers: “Transfer admission is considerably more competitive than freshman admission.” Just in case that wasn’t clear enough, they continue: “In recent years the admit rate for transfer students has ranged from one to four percent.”</p>
<p>While I suppose anything is possible, the probability that you will be accepted as a transfer applicant to Stanford rounds off to 0.00%. That’s not said to be cruel, just to be realistic.</p>
<p>Virtually every college in the country - even Caltech and MIT - offers an English Literature major. The number that offer a Creative Writing major is somewhat smaller, but (a) it’s hardly rare and (b) those that don’t have a major with that exact name teach the subject, they just consider it all part of English.</p>
<p>EDITED TO ADD:</p>
<p>If you take the time to do a couple of minutes of research on Stanford’s website, you’ll discover that Creative Writing isn’t even a major. It can be a minor, but not a major.</p>
<p>Your score history indicates that you are not competitive for Stanford. Stanford can reject everyone except the top, top students. They accept transfer students only if a student drops out of the university. So, maybe, 2-4 transfers are accepted per year, if there is room. </p>
