Will I get accepted into Stanford University SCEA?!

No one knows if you’ll get accepted SCEA, not even an admissions officer (as of now). You would need to be compared to the entire admissions pool. I put up one of these threads a couple of days ago but realized that its really not much use because the admissions process is such a crap shoot.

You seem to have great grades and you’re a URM, which will greatly help you. Stanford loves URMs that have done very well, as you have. I’d say your chances are pretty high, but you never know with Stanford or any school for that matter.

My recommendation: Apply SCEA (if Stanford is your first choice) and put your heart into your application. Then, just pray and hope that the admissions officer likes you.

I’m also applying SCEA. My academic credentials are a little bit weaker than most candidates but I’m trying extra hard, through my essays and supplements, to show Stanford that I’ll be a great addition to their school. You should do the same.

Hopefully, we’ll both be at Stanford next year. Good luck!
