<p>Bear in mind that most of the numbers i gave are hypothetical as i am still a Junior. These are simply the numbers i expect to have when i graduate. My scores on the SAT and ACT are based on my success in the pre-tests i have taken and my history with similar tests. My GPA is still shifting, but a 3.7 is about what i hope to have when i graduate at the end of next year. With said credentials, what would my chances be of getting into West Point or Stanford? These are the two top tier colleges i am really striving for because West Point sounds awesome but Stanford has the #1 business degree, my intended major, in the country. Would these credentials get me into said schools? If not, what would have to change?</p>

<p>First, Stanford does not have a undergraduate business program. They do have a top ranked MBA program. You may want to reconsider if that is your only reasoning. Second, as I am sure you are well aware, the scores you have listed are well below average for both schools. Since your GPA cannot be significantly increased in one year, your best bet is drastically increasing your SAT or ACT score. Good luck.</p>

<p>I’m a graduate of West Point and have taken part in congressional review of candidates. Your test scores are fine for West Point but low for stanford. D is applying EA to stanford this year so I know the numbers. A military academy admissions decision is a little different. Academics, athletics and leadership </p>
