<p>I’m thinking about applying just for the heck of it.
I would probably be applying for engineering specifically environmental
4.2 weighted gpa not sure about unweighted
29 on the act the first time 28 the second and if you superscore them then it is a 30
national honor society
AP scholar
3 years of soccer
green council member
had a job for a year
around 50 hours of community service
I can get good rec’s if they’re needed
4 total AP classes
3 total honors classes
Lastly, my class rigor increased through all 4 years
Tell me if I forgot something
Thankyou</p>
<p>Honestly you don’t really have a chance, your GPA and ACT scores are too low.</p>
<p>Not with that username.</p>
<p>So is it not worth applying?</p>
<p>Now my comment about the username was a joke, of course. Get on the Stanford website and look at the profile of the incoming class. If you decide that applying is worth the $75 (or whatever it is) to take a chance, by all means apply. It is a lottery choice for anyone. But it is true that most admitted students have better numbers than you so you need to go in with your eyes open.</p>
<p>what you’re saying is really ambiguous…
you probably gotta describe more specifically
btw, i’ve seen many people got into stanford without really impressing stat… not sure how that worked out.</p>
<p>^How that worked out is those people fulfilled specific institutional needs, by being one or more of the following: URM; Div. I-caliber athlete; economically disadvantaged, a “developmental” admit (family donated substantial $$); extraordinarily talented and accomplished in the arts or another field. That is, hooked. Hooks won’t generally compensate for horrible stats, but the lower quartile of each top college tends to have hooked students. (Of course, some students with one or more of these hooks also have great stats, so one should never just assume that a particular student with a hook had relatively poor academic accomplishments.)</p>
<p>You have a chance regardless of the what the first person to comment on this thread says you’re scores aren’t mind blowing but they are not horrible. I know a lot of people at Stanford, including myself who got in with similar GPAs and ACT scores near yours. If you want to apply I say go for it. Just because you’re GPA and scores don’t meet the average scores of Stanford students does not mean you would not get in or deserve to. Try to improve your scores if you can but focus on your essays and letters of recommendation, those help a lot when determining whether a student fits in. Best of luck</p>
