What are my Chances?

I will be a senior this fall and I would like to know my odds of getting into Stanford. I am a white female who lives in California. Please be honest.

GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.67 W

SAT: 2180

ACT: 33

APs: I took 3 my Junior year (U.S. History, English Language & Composition, and Biology) and got 2 5s and a 4. This year I will be taking 3 more (Calculus AB, Literature, and Chemistry). I go to a small school and those six are the only APs offered.

Honors: Total of 8 classes (once again, max number of classes I could have taken)

Rank: 1/73

EC:

Editor-in-Chief of the Yearbook
Anime Club
English Horseback Riding - Regional Champion, National Champion, Reserve (2nd) World Champion
500+ hours of volunteer work at a therapeutic horseriding center
Primary Election Poll Worker
Horseback riding Summer Camp Counseler

And for my essays I will probably write about the struggles of living with my autistic brother

Any input would be appreciated

wow, that's a good transcript...however, not good enough for Stanford...work on getting your ACT score up, and try to get a near perfect score....with soem tutoring maybe...then you might be able to get into Stanford.

First, ignore the person above me. Past a certain point your scores don't matter. You're well past that point, and a higher score is not going to help you get into Stanford any more than your current score. You already have good scores and a great GPA. And it also looks like you have interesting ECs that you care about. Write good essays, and your chances are as good as anyone's.


And please, ignore most people on here. They will probably just do you more harm than good.
