I just saw this on the main page and I think that it’s not our place to tell you what your chances are of getting in (because our guesses could be completely inaccurate), but since you asked: The fact that you’re in Nepal differentiates you a little bit, but quite frankly your ECs, test scores, and grades are all subpar for Stanford, so you would be in the bottom 15% or so if you got accepted. The people who get into Stanford for CS have won Intel, Siemens, etc… and if you ultimately got accepted, you would be competing against those people… so… think about what your best choice really is, rather than following the hype.
