<p>Hi, I'm a Junior and am very interested in Stanford. I plan to apply there using Stanford's Restrictive Early Application next year, but I am wondering whether my chances are good or not. I realize that it is impossible to FULLY know, but I want to have an idea. Where can I brush up? Are my scores too low? Please help me try to strengthen myself before application. Even though application is in 9 months, I want to try to know where I can improve now.
