<p>My first ever post here…</p>

<p>Feeling depressed… Been working on Stanford application for quite some time already… A Levels in 2 weeks time… don’t know if i’m wasting my time applying as my chances are not good…</p>

<p>Am a foreigner. studying in Singapore, which follows the British education system…</p>

<p>-2140 for SAT. know it’s very low… CR 680 Writing 680 Maths 780
-Straight A1s for O Levels though… But don’t think that counts very much :frowning:
-Prelims was not good (no A at all) as i was really sick. Like non-stop coughing since the week before prelims… till now haven’t recover.
-quite confident for A levels. but applying for EA so nah. that doesn’t matter for Stanford anymore…
-Been in school choir… participated in 2 competition, both highest honour…
-has 110+ service hours for past 2 years…
-been in guitar ensemble and songcomposing group… just concerts though. no competitions. :S</p>

<p>scared for outright rejection for EA… will cry.</p>

<p>but never mind. will just try… =) </p>

<p>bless everyone.</p>

<p>Any score above 2100 is worthy…
But, no one can tell your chances for sure…and none can predict without your ECs and school scores…</p>

<p>which JC in singapore?</p>

<p>I am from SG too!</p>

<p>Dont worry about it man… no harm in trying! And the SG prelims are completely misleading! Just make sure your predicted grades are good and it should be ok…</p>

<p>You should have seen my O-level predicted grades! They were predicted to be mediocre (for some strange reason, although I did really well in class) and I ended up getting the second highest grades in my class on the exams. I just don’t get teachers sometimes.</p>

<p>As long you’re above 2100+ you’ve got a shot IF you do everything else right and have 1, just 1 really good “hook” in the appliation.</p>

<p>haha yeah application process is certainly frustrating. i’m from SG too. i’m not applying for stanford though, my friend is. i do advise you to apply for other schools though, perhaps 5-6 for RD. admission process is kinda unpredictable and all. cheers and good luck for your revision and As.</p>
