I was accepted to Stanford about a month ago. I wasn’t a valedictorian (we had 42 at my school) and I wasn’t in the top decile, either. What made me stand out was my passion for alternative energy. I think if your daughter expresses her passion for politics, welfare reform, etc. then she could have a great chance of getting in. Her essays are critical. Make sure they show how excited she is about what she wants to do for a career and she’ll have as good of a shot as any other applicant. Good luck!
