@Thejohnhippie: I get the impression that your dream school is Stanford…if, indeed, it is then by all means apply to Stanford as your high-reach dream school and have some low reaches and matches and safeties…just like in investing 101 you should have a list of schools that make up your portfolio…some high risk/high return (Stanford) and some low risk/safety like your state flagship school and schools in between…

…you get only one chance in life to apply to the schools YOU want…if you don’t apply you won’t know if you could have gotten in or not…remember Stanford is very “holistic”…so one can never predict what they are looking for in the ESSAYS and RECOMMENDATIONS which can make or break your application…Good luck.
