<p>I know a ton of people put out their scores, hoping for reassurance that they are on par with what Stanford is looking for... and admittedly I am just the same. I was wondering what others think of the things I have done and if they will be enough for Stanford.</p>
<p>I am a white female senior from a private school in Florida. My parents are both doctors, so our income is $300,000+ each year. I am ranked in the top 10th of my class (though we don't officially rank because our class sizes are only around 160ish- very small!) and have a GPA of 3.99 unweighted. </p>
<p>My Superscore for the SAT is:
Math: 740
CR: 680
Writing: 690</p>
<p>My ACT is a 32</p>
<p>APs include:
Chemistry- 4
Calculus AB- 5
Language- 4
Physics- Taking Senior Year
Calculus AB/BC- Senior Year
Statistics- Senior Year
(Our school only offers a few APs because we are so small and only allows students to start taking them Junior Year)</p>
<p>I have rowed in High School for 2 years on JV (and 3 years in middle school, not that it matters, really)</p>
<p>ECs:

<p>Volunteer work (1000+ hours)

<p>Misc.
I am proficient in Spanish
I am currently teaching myself Japanese and Sign Language (ASL)
I make Jewelry as a hobby
I play guitar
I can pick locks
I have hiked every National Park in America and many in Canada
I spent 2.5 weeks in China last summer with 3 friends, learning about the culture
I want to be a Chemical Engineer focusing in Alternative Energies (that has been the focus of my research as well)</p>
<p>I think that is about it. I know that I still need to take the SAT IIs, which I am taking in November. I will be taking Math II and Physics. I also know that my ACT and SAT scores are a bit lacking, but I am retaking both tests in October after having 2 months of private tutoring.</p>
<p>So the big question is this: Will my extracurriculars overcome my slightly lower test scores for making me a desirable student to Stanford? I hope so! Please tell me what you think.</p>
<p>PS- Oh boy, I just realized how long this is. Sorry!</p>
