I’m not necessarily asking for my chances of getting into Stanford. I’m just asking what you think about “my stand out” on my application. Assuming like most my SAT/ACT, teacher recs and everything else is up to par to their standards. Usually what gets you into a school like Stanford is something that stands you out over the rest of the applicants, right? Well, I ran a marathon a few months ago, so would this be a thing that helps me get in? I doubt very many applicants can say tht they have ran a marathon… I plan on using is as one of my essays. So will this help me get in to Stanford?
