<p>So this was originally a college search thread since I’m not sure waht school to go to…
but basically, chance me for Stanford? it’s the only school I can imagine myself attending… if not, then can you direct me to any other school? Thanks!</p>
<hr>
<p>Okay, well not a prodigy per say, but I am good at math! 
woo
Anyway, so, as a shocker it may be to the members of college confidential, I am one of those nerdy, procrastinating students who plan for college until the last possible minute. I still don’t know what school I want to go to! Help me out?</p>
<p>So, this is going to sound like one of those “Chance me?” threads, but here are my stats:</p>

<p>other info?: I’m going to be the first one in my family to go to college, i’m 1st-generation Vietnamese-American, low-income family, eh…?</p>
<p>ANyway, basically I just want a school a school that has a really prestigious math department? Since that’s what I’ll be majoring in. Also, a school with a great drama program is good too…? I don’t think I have the grades or the SAT scores for an Ivy league (I mean, I do plan to raise to at least 2100+), but would I have a chance for any? The only school I’m considering is Stanford, but I don’t know if I have a chance? UGHh.</p>
<p>Actually, chance me for Stanford? :D</p>
