Chance me for Stanford; give me like a percentage of chance I can get in. [CA resident, 3.88 GPA, 1540 SAT, biomedical computation or engineering]

@skieurope references this thread I believe.

The answer to Stanford and MIT chances is simple.

Can you get in ?

Yes, if you apply.

Will you get in ?

Statistically highly unlikely but if you don’t apply, it’s 100% assured you won’t get in.

And if you end up at Minnesota or South Carolina or any other school with an M or S initial, the sun will still rise.

Good luck.

PS - if you like MIT, look at RPI as a safer version - and if you like Stanford, there’s any # of schools that would be a match.

Or do you simply like them for their stature and not really the schools themselves?
