<p>I am looking to apply to Stanford next year and was wondering if my brother goes to Stanford what are the chances I will be able to get accepted in. I have a 3.6 GPA, and will take the SAT in December. I have 3 clubs along with 3 school sports with club soccer. Also, I have over 100 hours of volunteering at the hospital and coaching soccer. Will this be enough for Stanford admission if my brother goes there now. Also, what will i need to do to have a better chance. </p>

<p>Take as many ap classes as you can, and get your gpa up. Try to get a 2200+ on SAT or 34+ on act</p>

<p>There are no guarantees as a legacy. Son applied to Stanford with high grades, NM winner, and tons of EC’s. He was wait-listed then rejected. This after Dad has donated some dollars to the alumni program. No dollars no more since they rejected all three of our kids.</p>

<p>Did your brother donate $25 million to the school? </p>
