<p>I know a couple people who had no trouble getting into Stanford. One published his first paper on computer science and was getting letters addressing him as Dr. while he was still in high school.I think that he only had about a 3.8 GPA. The other was doing original research on number theory when she was eleven, and published her first paper when she was thirteen. She was home schooled so they did not worry about her grades</p>
<p>I am sure that if you get very good grades, and publish serious academic work while you are in high school, you will have no trouble getting into Stanford or any other school for that matter</p>
