<p>What is my chance of getting into Stanford, in %'s (ie 1%)</p>
<p>nobody really knows anyone else’s chances, especially not down to a percentage. we all have a lot going for us. but only a small percentage is accepted. you’ve worked hard, and if your life is pretty awesome now, it will continue to be awesome whether you end up at stanford or not. so don’t stress out about it.</p>
<p>you seem to have a lot going for you, and although your scores are on the weak side, nobody knows what is going to happen. stanford’s admissions policies may be changing anyhow, since they got the new director from yale (i think?) a year or two ago.</p>
<p>You have a chance, but not a great one. 15% maybe?</p>
<p>You will never know unless you apply.</p>
