great stats, obviously lots of good ECS… but what’s the most important to you? it definitely seems like you have a great shot, but like everybody else, you’d better write some awesome essays. it sounds cliche, but stanford really does look for “passion.” i can only speak from my own experience, but i was your average bright & well-rounded kid who hadn’t really discovered a passion yet. so, i did a lot of thinking, a lot of brainstorming, and a lot of writing, and i realized that i could write a pretty passionate essay about how i came to one of my intellectual interests. tell a story. make them care about you and the things that YOU care about. then i think you’ve got a pretty stellar chance!
