I am a sophomore with mediocre grades and GPA 3.3. I took a couple AP classes and got an overall C in one and a B+ on the second. I expect to get a 4 at least on the AP tests. My dream school is Stanford. I have good extracurriculars, but not any awards. On a mock SAT, I got a 2212. I expect to raise it by the time I take the real test. What can I do to improve my chances?
Thanks
It’s nice to have dreams, but is there some other school that you might warm up to? What is it you would like to study?
I am interested in computer engineering and technology fields in general.
Sports? Leadership? Can your family afford Stanford? To be honest most have top stays, so you have to set yourself apart. Google Stanford Common Data sets and see where you might fit in.
It’s time to start researching a wider list. You can use the SuperMatch tool on the right side of the page to generate some options.
