<p>The cold, hard reality is that no amount of “help” from College Confidential could secure a place at Stanford for you if you were at the top of your class. Stanford just gets too many applications from outstanding students. Stanford could literally fill its freshman class several times over and still admit only students with GPA over 3.75 and SATs over 2200.</p>
<p>My guess is that the handful of students admitted with GPA < 3.25 have some other remarkable characteristic, such as the ability to dunk a basketball with two hands, or being the child of a Saudi prince.</p>
