Chances of getting into these schools

I understand. At my highschool I looked on navince 12 students in the past years with states ranging in the 50% to 1% have been accepted (GPA ranging is a 3.3-4.0). At Stanford there having a humanities initiative to grow their humanites program and my intended major is apart to that sector. Would appying REA or ED as a non athlete be really bad at most top school with the lower end stats, but other part of your application being much more impressive / could possilby stand out as a Gov/ Classics Major (Or does the major you apply under as change your changes?)
