I think you are in good shape. Keep in mind getting into schools like Stanford are always a shot in the dark. The hook you have is your lawn mowing business. Thats what you are going to want to focus on. Stanford is a school for creative minds, forward thinkers and proactive indivduals. They appreciate the entrepenuer spirit. So your business is going to be ‘golden’ for you. I would advise you to expand it. Try to get others to work for you. Try to make a community sevice project from it. Try creating a program through your local library where you teach other kids how to make something out of their ideas. Show them how they can give back to the community by utilizing their strengths and abilities. (Just some ideas and food for thought)

Your ACT score is very good, why wouldn’t you consider putting the time into the SAT score instead. Thats a bit low and I believe that Stanford requires that you report it.
Also keep in mind that when you have questions like these you can call the schools and ask to speak with an admissions officer for guidance. Its always best to go directly to the source for your questions. Ask Stanford your ACT and SAT question. That way you have the right answers, not just ones that we CC’ers believe to be true.

Good luck…Remember where ever you go they will be lucky to have you.
