<p>GPA is good.
Not sure of the awards, but sounds good.
Extracurriculars are good- focus on taekwondo as your most active role.</p>

<p>Your SAT could be better for a school like Stanford. 25% of kids prefer ACT over SAT (and vice versa), so look for and attend a free practice test by the Princeton Review or Kaplan on their websites.</p>

<p>What's your intended major? STEM classes tend to be super super competitive, and things like scholarships, internships, and research camps are nearly mandantory.
And what are your AP scores? There's no point in taking an AP class if you can't prove you learned the content.</p>

<p>what is STEM?</p>

<p>i didn't decide on a major...i'm clueless. </p>

<p>AP Euro 3, APUSH 4, AP English Language 4</p>

<p>thanx for your feedback :)</p>

<p>Stanford chance threads are pointless in my opinion. I know so many people who were denied that had above a 4.7 GPA, perfect SAT and subject scores, tons of awards and amazing EC's, and their stories in their essays were profound and heart warming. No one can tell you that you have a chance, because there is no way to possibly know. It is all about luck. So good luck to you and I hope you get in =).</p>
