Chance an Asian Artist for SCEA?

Colleges & Universities Stanford University
1

<p>Stanford is my first and foremost choice, and I am applying SCEA for 2014. But I am worried, would applying SCEA hurt my chances? Or should I just go for it?</p>

<p>Well here are my stats: </p>

<p>3.95/4.5 GPA
[Only B’s in Freshman year at old school. Moved schools for soph. year.]
SAT: 2290 <a href=“I%20am%20retaking%20in%20October%20to%20improve%20my%20W”>800M, 800R, 690W</a>
SAT IIs: 800 Math II, 750 Biology, 760 US
ACT: 35</p>

<p>AP Tests: Seven 5s, One 4
Senior Course Load: 7 APs + Credited Internship</p>

<p>Main ECs:
Volunteer @ Hospital [Over 100 hours]
3 Years of Track [Varsity + Invite Team]
Art [I photograph]
Full Year Internship @ Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a Photographer</p>

<p>Will submit art work. [I got a 5 on the AP Photography exam, my photography teacher said my work was highly unique and certainly had style, the professional photographer I work with also said my work was unique as well as good.]</p>

<p>My essays will be very whimsical and lighthearted, and will focus on my love for science and art. </p>

<p>Thank you for reading and chancing! [hopefully haha]</p>

<p>Wow, there’s an AP Photography exam?</p>

<p>Stats-wise, you’re there. But think long and hard before deciding to apply SCEA-there are tons of people with stats like yours; in SCEA, you may come off as only “average.” Your photography EC seems quite interesting; be sure to expound on that in your essays to set your application apart from the others.</p>

<p>Whimsical and light-hearted can be good for essays–just be careful not to go overboard.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
