<p>As others said, you are certainly not an academically average student. However, I don’t think that you have the stats to stand up to the admissions pool for Stanford or Duke. You should probably be good for most of the UCs, though.</p>

<p>The academically average don’t go to Stanford or Duke.</p>

<p>try duke ed not stanford, you will have as better chance coming form CA;</p>
