Do you think I could get into Stanford or do I need to go for a less prestigious school?</p>

<p>you need to go to a muchhh less prestigious school…</p>

3

<p>Doubtful. Especially with the scores from the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests.</p>

4

<p>Could you get into Stanford? Yes. Is acceptance likely for you? No, I’m sorry.</p>

<p>You can get into some good schools, but I think Top 50 schools would be very hard for you.</p>

<p>^
that’s a bit harsh. He can definitely get into top 50</p>

6

<p>Stanford… not so much. Why did you take both math SAT IIs when it seems math isn’t your greatest fort</p>

<p>Among national universities, schools around the USNWR #50 mark (Tulane, George Washington) have 75th percentile SAT scores around 1370, well above the OP’s. But the OP’s grades are good, so that area (around #50) is a good zone to be looking for reach and high match schools.</p>

<p>Among LACs, schools around the #50 mark (Pitzer, Gettysburg) have 75th percentile SAT scores in a similar range, it appears. Kalamazoo’s (#60) is over 1400. I think some people underestimate the selectivity (and quality) of some of the schools in the #25-75 range.</p>
