Speaking from one Stanford URM hopeful to another, I would say that your scores are still somewhat low. Granted, there are many students at Stanford who have comparable scores to yours, it’s made for with scholastic achievement and extracurriculars. As the applicant pool gets more competitive, so does the URM sub-group. Applicants are exponentially becoming more qualified so the advantage of being URM is diminishing a little bit. Just try to take one more shot at those standardized exams to heighten your chances. Your superscore isn’t bad either. I would still suggest applying! You never know. Good luck to you.
