What are my Chances at Stanford

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys, I've read a ton of posts here, and finally decided it was time to make an account for myself.
So heres the question: What are my chances at Stanford University??</p>

<p>SAT: 2170 (Math-780 CR-700 W-690)
SAT II (Math II- 800 Math I- 750 Chem- 760 Physics- 700 US History - 670)
AP: Already Taken- AP World (3) AP US (4) AP Chem (5) Currently taking AP Gov, AP Physics, AP Latin, AP Calc
GPA: 3.83W :( (hopefully my EC's and courseload make up for it)</p>

<p>EC's </p>

<p>I have worked in the ER during summers since after 9th grade (175+ hours)
I worked at a retail computer store since I was 12 (650+ hours)
I worked at a systems builder for two years where I build computers for the German Air Force, NASA, and NASCAR
I am technical director at my school which essentially means I run all the lights for every event that occurs in out auditorium (1100+ hours) For our recent production of Phantom of the Opera, I one-upped the Broadway show, by designing and building a ridable, remote controlled gondola for the underwater scene.
I started my own business where i bough broken Xbox 360s off eBay, fixed them, then resold them on eBay. Fixed several hundred during the course of middle and high school.
I always have a project, and have worked on every water and land vehicle except hovercrafts and cars: yep, snowmobiles, jet skis, mopeds, you name it. My current project is building the worlds first full scale electric replica of the Bat Man motorcycle. Its currently over 11 feet long. I post videos of it on my YouTube channel which has recently been partnered with YouTube. (in case you want to watch: TheModificatioNation's</a> channel - YouTube)
I played JV and Varsity soccer and lacrosse. (Start in soccer, not as good in lacrosse haha)</p>

<p>During the summer I went to visit Stanford and walked in to the admissions office where I asked to speak to the representative of my area. We spoke for about 10-15 minutes, and I got her email address. We have emailed back and forth a few times, about my application and my Bat Man motorcycle. </p>

<p>My Counselor says my Recs are really good and that theres a theme through my application which is restated in my Recs, so he says hats good. I got an outside letter of Rec from someone who I sold one of the Xbox 360s to, and who has been a supporter of me for several years, he says it was the best, and easiest letter hes ever written.</p>

<p>Anyway, I'm rambling. If there's anything else you'd like to know please ask and ill tell you. This is truly the school for me, and if there are any tips or tricks you could give me, im all ears.<br>
Applying REA by the way.</p>

<p>Dude,</p>

<p>You’ve got as good a chance as anyone. You’re ECs ARE exceptional and yoru GPA IS a little low. Hope you have a couple of good #2 and 3 choices. I’d let you in Stanford but in reality, there’s NO ONE who is good bet for Stanford.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Holy cow. Those are some amazing ECs.</p>

<p>But the above poster is right - your SAT and GPA are a bit on the low side for Stanford. I think if you can really express yourself and demonstrate how qualified and right you are for their school through essays and such you should get in. Raise your SAT if you can; even take the ACT.</p>
