Hi! I am currently a high school senior preparing to apply regular decision to Stanford this January. I have wanted to go to Stanford since I was extremely young.

My grade point average is somewhere around a 3.3 but hopefully is going up
My ACT score right now is 27 but I will be taking them again
My SAT Lit score was 610
I played three years of varsity volleyball, had lead roles in three productions at my school, perform in my a capella group, work extensively with a school in South Africa and participated in a conference there, and studied at Brown for a summer before traveling to Scotland to perform in the Fringe festival

My essays are strong (I think) and my recommendations are as well from what I have heard

What are my chances at being accepted to Stanford? And is there anything I can do to increase my chances?

Also, my parents divorced recently attributing to a lot of stress and a decrease in what used to be solid A-'s, should I find a way to incorporate that into my application?
