<p>I’ve been reading all of these “Chance me” threads with people who have 36 ACT 2400 SAT and 8 AP scores that I am starting to feel like I don’t come anywhere close to where Stanford students should be. But I just want you guys to tell me if I seem like a good candidate for Stanford:</p>

<p>Also was one of the people who received a CR-48 chromebooks when Google sent them out for testing. Don’t know if that would help on my resume or not but I thought I might as well put it on there.</p>

<p>Like I said, I am seeing so many people with amazing resumes (including a kid who started and app development company in the 8th grade) and it’s making me feel like Stanford is a far reach.</p>
