<p>Although I can’t say, your profile looks really interesting!</p>

<p>What are you majoring in? And ethnicity? FA?</p>

3

<p>I want to major in math, I am Asian, and I’m not too sure what FA standards for XD</p>

4

<p>what FA *stands for
o.0 what a grammar mistake</p>

5

<p>Are you applying for financial aid? (FA)</p>

6

<p>applying for financial aid only matters if you are applying as an international</p>

7

<p>Only child, family makes like 250k
Probably not getting any FA</p>

8

<p>^ That would most likely be the case.</p>

<p>Your profile looks very unique and well-qualified to me. Although admission into Stanford is a crap-shoot in general, I would say that you have an above average chance.</p>

<p>One question though, since you appear to be very interested in math, why didn’t you participate in the AMC/AIME/USAMO sequence?</p>

9

<p>^ Perhaps his school just doesn’t offer the AMC (which was also the case with my junior year school).</p>

10

<p>I actually did take them, I just didn’t do well.
I hadn’t prepared for the AMC and only managed to score enough (bare minimum) for AIME qualification on which I got 4 I think</p>

11

<p>Dude you went to 2007 Nationals for Mathcounts? Nice…</p>

<p>Haha I probably saw you there I just don’t remember. If we both get into Stanford we should definitely meet up sometime.</p>

12

<p>Dude, you’ve def got an above-average shot. They love geographic diversity. I know a ridiculous amount of people from wyoming/nevada/montana who go.</p>

<p>Shameless bump
And also thanks for all the info, critique, opinions</p>
