they are looking for interesting essays. The mere fact that you mention immigration does not make your essay unique, but through the essay you have to show how you faced the challenges and succeeded. You have to talk about how it influenced you. You still need to write well in order to be successful at Stanford.

I talked to an admission rep from stanford a few months ago and she said that they basically will give you some slack in the Verbal SAT I and Writing SAT II. For example, if they wanna admit someone w/ 750+ on both, then you can get by with a 700.

(i’ve also been in the US for only 4 years, and wrote my large essay on immigration. BTW, do NOT write ALL the essays on the immigration issue. If you have an interesting story use the large essay. If you just wanna mention it, use the additional information)
