Chance me on Stanford?

According to https://admission.stanford.edu/apply/selection/profile16.html#transfers I have a 2% chance of admittance if we consider my ACT score solely (better than 0 right?). So I do not believe it is not possible to chance an applicant especially at a school like Stanford for Transfer.
Furthermore, http://www.collegetransfer.net/StanfordUniversity/TransferProfile/tabid/145/Default.aspx delineates that the minimum transfer GPA for Stanford is a 3.5. Since I have a 3.95 in classes that are all rigorous mathematics and science courses, I would think this gives me some competitive edge? I doubt that a majority of students attending Stanford would be taking my course loads; as I said earlier, many universities will not even allow it. I had to convince all my deans, professors, and advisors for such an opportunity to challenge myself.

I guess what my ultimate question boils down to is: should I not challenge myself anymore? Should I be contempent with the resources I’ve been given? Should I not strive to traverse the adversities of my environment and actualize my fullest genetic potential, to help not only me - but the greater welfare of mankind? In my opinion, no, because if an individual truly believes in what they are capable of: there is no obstacle that cannot be surmounted in their life to achieve their dreams and goals. But I welcome a second opinion on this matter because honestly if I am wrong, I would rather not be wasting my time and explore other avenues.
