<p>Two students from my HS were accepted to Stanford last year with virtually no extracurriculars.</p>
<p>One of them had a programming job (only EC). He had a 2310 SAT and 3.9-something UW GPA. His sister graduated from Stanford, but I hear that sibling legacy has virtually no weight.</p>
<p>The other (my brother) took community college classes (post-calculus math and higher physics) and was a camp counselor in training (CILT) for two years. He also attended EPGY at Stanford the summer before junior year. His scores were 2290 and 3.9-something UW.</p>
<p>Miracles can happen =P</p>
