<p>Yo eagle69, do something fantastic and extraordinary that connects to the other things you’ve already done, like start a summer football or music program through your church for kids in Minneapolis inner city. Right now, nothing really makes you stand out. But doing something that shows both passion for what you’ve already done and an ambition to get **** done will make you definitely stand out. And for that, you’ll have to start working on doing cool stuff like today, otherwise I don’t see you getting in. Also, don’t blow off your essays. They are far more important than most people give them credit for. Also, take a listen to this guy, I’d bet he knows a little something about Stanford admissions: [Stanford–What</a> factors affect decision beyond academic measures - YouTube](<a href=“Stanford--What factors affect decision beyond academic measures - YouTube”>Stanford--What factors affect decision beyond academic measures - YouTube)</p>
