<p>sat: </p>
<p>first time - 2170 (CR - 690, math - 680, writing - 800)
second time - 2200 (CR - 720, math - 710, writing - 770)</p>
<p>still have to take act, and sat subject tests</p>
<p>grades: good, i get a's, my classes this year are (im a junior) hchem, hprecalc, latin, ap bio, ap stats, ap english, ap history</p>
<p>i took ap gov last year and got a 4 on the exam</p>
<p>extra curricular: worked at museum since 7th grade, vars tennis, founder environmental program, captain of team (5 juniors) that won 40,000 dollars in national environmental competition</p>
<p>live on east coast</p>
<p>won are my chances? like 0%? haha, but probably.</p>
<p>Nah, not 0%. But pretty close. :)</p>
<p>No offense to you or anything. But Stanford is Stanford. Unless you’ve saved an endangered species, solved the economic problems of a small African country, or cured cancer…</p>
<p>what’s your exact GPA/class rank? that’ll help a lot in determining your chances.</p>
<p>Please don’t believe that you have a 0% chance. Your ECs are pretty cool, and you could conjure up a neat essay about your concern for the environment and commitment to environmental awareness. And a 2200 SAT is good, as is a good GPA (I assume you have somewhere between a 3.9 and a 4.0 if you get mostly/all As)</p>
<p>Overall I would say you have a 15-20% chance of admission, but most highly qualified applicants as yourself have the same chance so don’t discredit yourself before you even apply! What other schools are you looking at? If you haven’t decided might I suggest:</p>
<p>U Chicago - You have what they are looking for and would need to write excellent essays</p>
<p>UVa- OOS is hard, but it is a great school. You have roughly a 60% chance.</p>
<p>Lehigh University - A solid east coast school with great academics. 75% chance of admission.</p>
<p>If you give us a GPA and a class rank and some more schools you are interested we can give you some more chances :)</p>
<p>Yea, I think my gpa is between a 3.9 and 4.0. My school doesn’t offer class rank, and not to be overly confident (as I dont know yet) but I assume I am in the top ten %. </p>
<p>Um, lets see, I also like brown a lot, and jhu, and ucla and ucb. </p>
<p>the environment is like my passion.</p>
<p>Its really hard to say from what I’ve seen the people graduating from my school. Im like in the same position as you now… Stanford is like my dream school to
But on the positive it seems to vary on how those schools select people this one girl I knew was valedvictorian at a really prestigious private school and won like everything she even found some mathematical equation to measure lake density on mars or something crazy and won some national award but she didnt get into the schools she wanted. But then one of my friends sister is got into Princeton she was in the top 20 of her class had like 1450 SAT and did EC’s but nothing outstanding she didnt have connections and is not hispanic or anything so to me it seems how they pick people is pretty random. They want someone who is not only a genious but does sports and things.</p>
