Thank you in advance
SAT scores are a bit low for all three schools especially Stanford which is a Reach for every applicant. You really need to bump up your CR score into the 700+ range. You have good EC’s but nothing really stands out as being unique.
GPA is competitive, you need to work on your test scores and to do something different than the rest of the International applicants applying to these schools.
Good luck.
Just a suggestion and I know a thing or 2 about the big college game. I sure do. you bet on it. check out Wichita State University over in Wichita, Kansas. Spent 26 happy good yrs there at IT help desk. Real smart bunch of young kids. They’re going places. Are you?
