oh yeah my gpa is 3.8 unweighted and I am In state and i am an asian female

and the reason I am not in dance team or Student government this year is that I had Scheduling Conflicts... not because I just decided to quit although the colleges have no way of knowing that.. right?

anyway, thanks in advance for those who will reply to this!!!!!!!!!! THANKS

if you can write a good essay, I'd say Stanford would be in. write a kickass essay and get some good reccomendation. Noice job.

Stanford accepts so few students, I'd say it's a reach for nearly any student, bit a far to impossible reach for many. Your scores are a bit low for Stanford, but your grades are good. Your ECs are good, but no national ranking, so I'd say Stanford is a reach for you.

The kid from our HS who got into Stanford was amazing--she was one of the validictorians, NMF, played solo accompanying the state symphony & had won national competitions for violin & piano. Another kid I know who got into Stanford was student body president of an elite prep school with awesome grades & test scores & other very strong ECs.

It's definitely worthwhile applying to Stanford, but please recognize that it's a reach for everyone, except perhaps Chelsea Clinton while her dad was president (& she had good grades).
