<p>Hello everyone this is my first post, but I have come to this site a few times already, it looks exellent and a major help to college applicants. </p>
<p>Ever since a kid, I have wanted to get into Stanford. I slacked a little in the Freshman and Sophmore year in High School, but I really tried to pick things up in my junior year right now. So, if anyone can, please give me an opinion on my chances of being accepted into Stanford with these credentials? Note that since this my junior year, not everything is set in stone. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.8 out of 5.0 (IB)
SAT: 530 Verbal and writing and 680 math. I'm retaking the Sat in May.</p>
<p>Extras:
Piano - 10 years with numerous performances, camps, and competitions.
Golf - 2 years. I'm in the varsity golf team but probably because my school does not have a very good golf team lol.
The Record - One of the reporters for the "youthink" part of the city newspaper.
Clubs- I'm in the IB club but don't hold any position. I'm actively working on trying to open a Rotary Interact club at my high school.</p>
<p>Awards and extras;
Rotary Youth Leadership Award
National Honor Roll
IB Certificate of Merit
Principles honors </p>
<p>Finally, once in a while, I intern the family business and actually made some money on a large "official" business deal. </p>
<p>Is there anything I should try to improve other than the SAT scores? Since I wish to major in business, I'm either going to a Wharton school summer program or the national student leadership conference: business program this summer. </p>
<p>Thank you very much to anyone that answers.</p>
