Rigorous grading will not hurt, so long as Stanford is familiar with the school - they account for and adjust their assumptions given grading standards at different schools. Low AP scores however will hurt.

Extracurriculars are probably an application killer on the other hand - without something truly impressive, you can be a perfect 4.0/2400/36 student and still get rejected everywhere.
