<p>So how does this all look for Stanford, or other good schools? I am hoping to play Tennis for them…</p>

<p>I think that’s all…If I think of anything else I’ll post. Anyways, thanks for reading and thanks for chancing me.</p>

<p>Your grades are good, but you know that. You can’t really chance someone less than halfway through their high school career. What and how you plan to do (as far as ECs and SATs go) is not necessarily indicative of the applicant you will ACTUALLY be in two years. Work on doing what you hope to, though, and you could be competitive (as competitive as you can be when it comes to top-tiered schools, that is).</p>

<p>That makes sense. Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Just curious… But, are you Asian?</p>

5

<p>No, but is that a compliment or something? Does my stuff look asian? I’m caucasian.</p>

6

<p>Yes, i guess you could say your stuff “looks” Asian. And your username sounds like a common Asian name. It’s not a compliment, but I will compliment you on your very strong stats! I would say like others that you are very qualified, but it just all depends on how Stanford decides. I am also dreaming of going to Stanford one day. It’s my number one right now :D</p>

<p>Oh! Well I hope you get in!</p>
