I am just wondering if I should even bother applying to Stanford. I noticed (when I was looking at admissions statistics) that they seem to pay a lot of a attention to passion, even if your grades/SAT isn’t the best. Anyways, my stats are:
GPA: 4.12 (on 4.0 scale)
11 AP’s
10 Honors

SAT: 2120 in one sitting

EC’s (i’ll just mention the most important): varsity tennis captain and tennis assistant coach for a country club
shadowed a pediatrician in a practice as well as an anesthesiologist in a hospital. Also volunteered at two different hospitals. (these were all separate incidents)
vice-pres of French honor and asked french teacher to write a rec. for me

I have some more ec’s of course, but these are the ones that show my passion the most i think. thanks so much for your input.
