<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I would appreciate it if someone would chance me for Stanford University admissions for those applying during the 2011-2012 senior year, going into fall 2012 as an undergrad. I am a white female, an outgoing junior, as well as a legacy student–my grandfather, two aunts, one uncle, a cousin and my father all went to Stanford. All of them are quite generous and my father and stepmother have a classroom named after them, and there is a hallway named after my grandfather. I also have many connections to politicians and celebrities who have been generous as well.
Although I’m not exactly sure what I want to do, I know I want to be in liberal arts/humanities, and I’m looking at psychology, foreign relations, international studies, communications, and advertising, or similar studies. </p>
<p>Here are my stats:
4.23 GPA Weighted
3.76 GPA Unweighted
My school does not publish class ranks, but I got in the “High Honors” tier for the past three years during school reports at the end of each semester…not exactly sure what that signifies.</p>
<p>AP/Honors courses I have taken: AP US History, English 11 Honors, English 10 Honors, AP Environmental Science, Newspaper 4 Honors, Spanish 4 Honors (I will be self studying for the AP test, as my stepmother is from Argentina and I speak the language fluently)
I will be taking AP European History and AP English Language, with AP English Literature as my elective, and I will be self-studying for the AP Psychology test
My school does not offer very many AP courses</p>
<p>2130 SAT
740 CR
710 W
680 M</p>
<p>760 US History
740 Lit
730 Spanish</p>
<p>5 on APUSH
4 on APES
5 on AP Lit
planning on taking AP Euro and AP Lang next year</p>
<p>I am the Editor in Chief of the school newspaper next year, one of three juniors selected to be a section editor this year out of 26 juniors and seniors vying for the section editor positions.
I am in the school’s Leadership program
I am a Link Crew leader (a member of the group to aid incoming freshman in the transition process)
I am on the school’s Events Commission, and next year, I will be the Head Commissioner as well as running/organizing the schools Every Fifteen Minutes program, held every four years
I am the VP of my National Charity League organization and put in 30+ hours of service per year, and by May 2012, will have put in 300+ hours over four years
My twin brother and I started a chapter of a club called “Under the Roof Reading”, an organization that supplies Habitat for Humanity families with books, bookshelves and school supplies</p>
<p>All of these ECs I am extremely dedicated to, but the Newspaper, charity/volunteer works and Events Commission all take priority for me. </p>
<p>Recs are not a problem; I have several teachers who have asked to write my letters, and I will be having the asst. principal write my office rec. </p>
<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated!</p>
