<p>I want to go to Stanford but I only scored an 1800 on the SAT. I know it’s competitive, and I have all A’s but I was playing a sport for freshman and sophomore year, but had to have 2 knee surgeries so have been out on injury since sophomore year, so I started working and haven’t had any time to take any AP classes. I’ve taken a lot of college classes though (my high school has a program that makes that possible with a nearby city college), so I’m hoping that can give me some points towards being a good hard working student. I also really hope to get some community service done this summer, and might be taking a summer course at Stanford, but still have to do the application. Can someone tell me if I even have a chance though? What should I be shooting for when applying for colleges? I’m taking the SAT again in June by the way, so I have one more chance to get better scores</p>
<p>slim to none</p>
<p>You need at <em>least</em> a 300-point SAT jump to even been in the running for Stamford and even then you would be at the very-very-low end of the range for accepted students.</p>
<p>I think you really need to start looking at a very different level of school.</p>
