Live in Northern VA, attend a private school in MD</p>
<p>i forgot… am also taking AP Chemistry independently through Northwestern’s CTD b/c my school doesnt offer too many APs
i took AP English and Bio last yr with a 4 and 5 respectively on the AP Exam</p>
<p>it can’t hurt to apply…you never know.</p>
<p>You’re not wasting time.</p>
<p>Nothing is predictable with a school like Stanford, but you certainly have a shot. Your SAT I scores are similar to my son (who just graduated from Stanford) and your SAT II’s are higher. Of course, there is so much more involved. But it certainly is worth trying!</p>
