I looked at my school's scattergram (comparison between me and applicants from years past) today. Compared to last year's admits from my school, my GPA is .1 too low and SATs are 100 points too low (2400 scale, 50 points too low on 1600). Every applicant from last year with in my stats range was rejected. My SAT is 1470/1600 and 2240/2400. Should I be very concerned about my chances?

My ECs, recs, and essays are probably average for Stanford. Maybe above average. Either way, I know GPA and SAT means the most in admissions because if you dont have it, you wont get in.
