<p>Read the first sentence of your post.</p>

<p>Despair.</p>

<p>What’s your gpa? And are those really all of your ECs/leaderships? It’s kind of hard to chance you with no gpa haha. However, even if you have a 4.0 UW, your lack of ECs would severely hamper your chances of getting in as Stanford prizes themselves on accepting well-rounded, involved students. Unless you’re like an amazing photographer and it takes up a ton of your time, your lack of ECs will be rough. Good luck though!</p>

<p>But seriously though, I am sure you do more than you stated here.</p>

<p>If you apply to a school like Stanford, and your application looks like what I just saw, you would probably get rejected.</p>

<p>Give us more details, and we will give you better results.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah right! </p>

6

<p>3.9 Unweighted GPA and 4.3 weighted</p>

7

<p>That’s pretty good. Anything else?</p>

<p>Do you have any AP classes? Because some colleges look at those and factor those into the GPA.
What do you tutor? Subjects?
What do you photograph?
Hobbies (you can state some of those on an application)?
Sports? Martial Arts?</p>

<p>Telling us all of these, and anything else you think you would put on your application can help us understand you as an applicant.</p>

<p>I think GPA is alright butEC’s are weak</p>

<p>Everything looks great but like others have said—the EC’s are a bit weak! But I think Stanford does holistic view so one weak thing would not hurt you! </p>

<p>Is the basktball camp a really strong EC?</p>

<p>I started a 6-week camp for students who could not afford a high level camp. This was over the summer every year. I would advertize and try to attract students. Every year, I received an average of 12-13 students on the roster.</p>

<p>I photograph sports and nature. I have photographed table tennis competitions and participate in the photography club at school.</p>

<p>I also started my own club which worked on math and would tutor math.</p>

<p>I tutor in math at the TTN, which was for small children. I also tutored some students at school as part of the tutoring club.</p>

<p>I did Track And Field for Frosh, but I quit after that. </p>

<p>Hobbies are sports and photography</p>

<p>I believe that it is a reach because EC’s are not that strong. But you should get into many other great schools like the Claremont schools.
