How do I improve my RD chances for other colleges?

Now that the decisions are 11 hrs away, I have started thinking beyond Stanford. What if I dont get in?
what and How do I change things my profile in order to improve my chnaces for RD? Obviously I am late for a drastic change at this point. I guess I have to get better grades in the next quarters. But what else can I do now different now? Rec letters?
Is it only me? is ayone else thinking like me?
It's depressing!! But I need to do this.

Ha, that's better than the way I'm feeling right now. From the very beginning I worried that I wouldn't get in, and thus filled out all of my other applications and sent them off a month ago. Now, I'm starting to think that I should have seen how this turned out so I could reevaluate my apps and improve them! Ahhh how frustrating.

As for you, don't worry. See what happens, and then think about it. All I can say is that you should look again at your essays and read over your app and see if it paints a picture of who you really are. That's what's really important..your personality and passions have to come across.

But really...don't get depressed or worried until you really need to! I'm nervous too; everyone is...we'll have to wait and see.
