<p>Everything I've heard about Stanford has been amazing. I am applying there as my biggest reach school. I have a 4.0 uw after freshman year (they don't count 9th grade, right??) and 2340 on the sats. So like many applicants, I am academically qualified. But I want to know what Stanford values BESIDES a strong academic record. What interesting personal stuff gets people in? I just want to know the ECs, talents and miscellany that matriculants bring to the school, so I know what I'm up against :]
Any input, Stanford students? Thank you</p>
