YAll ready? chance me please..especially frenchy!

<p>BTw im not sure if this is big but i have like trends going on in my app for French and for Science.</p>

<p>I put my major academic itnerest as Foreign Language and my second as Biology.</p>

<p>French: great teacher rec from french teacher, put the top 10 ranking on french contest for 3 years as my second best award, French Honor Society and French Club President, main essay is about my passioante pursuit of French and taking a raelly long french class during one of my summers and how i read harry potter in french outside of class </p>

<p>Science: Intern at lab for last two years, honorable mention and merit award at two local fairs, bigest accomplishment is Siemens Semi-Finalist obsviously, 760 on Bio Sat2, 5 on AP Bio, A in AP Bio class…</p>

<p>i hoep they are able to catch the emphasis that i tried to put on these two…but in the long run i dont think i have that great of a shot cause of my GPA and second teacher rec are both not absolutely blazing…my transcript shows decline which is horrible…its liek
10th grade: A A A A A A A- B+
11th grade: A A A A- A- A- A- A-</p>

<p>anyways…good luck to you all u guys are absolutely unbelivalble in all ur accomplishments</p>

<p>WAIT
i didnt even see that you wrote Siemans!!
that’s REALLY good - everyone from my school who has gotten into Stanford has either been a finalist or semifinalist
so that’s definitely a boost!</p>

<p>Ya but isn’t Siemens just a regional award? I thought national awards weren’t determined yet.</p>

<p>well the judges select 300 semifinalists from the entire nation out of like 1200 so i think it counts for a national award…the actual nationals however ARE taking place around dec. 7 or so…those kids were sleected from the semifinal pool to represent their regions…they can basically go to any college tehy want save an ok gpa and ok sat scores</p>

<p>W/e, i asked only because my friend made it seem like the entries are judged in a regional pool and compared to the projects submitted from the same region at first. Either way, I think it’ll help.</p>

<p>he’s in, I have no doubts</p>

<p>ummm well i don’t think you’re a shoo in
but you do have a good chance
mind you, the people from my school who got in did have siemens, but they also had a 4.0, a lot more leadership, and more AP tests
and, contrary to what st. aegis thinks, your gpa is an extremely important factor to stanford
so yea, you have as good a chance as anyone, but don’t EXPECT to get in, ya know?</p>

<p>thanks guys…especially st. aegis and oprah lol…u guys are quickly becoming cc stars…and yeah im not gonna expect a definite acceptance letter by any means. Before later- october i had sights on cornell or something with a 31 act and no sat 1 yet. But on oct. 23 i got my sat score and on oct. 24 i got notified about siemens so i thought i might stand a chance in the applicant pool…ill be ok if i get rejected…i was fortunate enough to have some credentials to be able to apply in the first place.</p>

<p>to stanford, with those grades and siemens, is kind of one of those few factors that has a gurantee. Everyone at my school with those stats have gotten in, so I dont see why not Pose wont make it, and trust me, 150+ students applying to stanford from our school alone, you can see where I am driving this.</p>

<p>Oprah, for the last time, GPA aint everything, so get used to it</p>

<p>GPA isn’t everything, but every college does tell its applicants that high school transcript is the most important item of application.</p>

<p>yes, although it is a big part, it isnt half the decision, proabably around 30%. If you can make up for other things, you are also good as in.</p>

<p>Nice. Is this one of the more competitive ones? (Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Technical, etc)</p>

<p>how can you take 8 classes a year? i thought i was swamped with 6 last year… or are you putting up semester grades?</p>

<p>I took 9 classes last year, and 10 this year. Dual enrollment and online classes add to the usual 6-7 from traditional school.</p>

<p>i take 7 classes on the average, day then I take courses outside of school, so around 9 for me</p>

<p>to mercruz: no im from long island nassau county…its pretty highly regarded but def not as a stuy or a magnet school from the city</p>

<p>ah. well good luck. You’re probably fine then. Although there are quite a few Stuyvesant kids here, there are far fewer than are qualified. You’re probably better off in Long Island.</p>

<p>Hi Pose716. I am a representative from Stanford University. After examining your resume, I find that it was rather short and bland and would like to get to know you better.</p>
