hi, i was wondering on your guyss opinion on my chances into getting into my dream school- Stanford University.

I attended the epgy (educated program for the gifted youth) at Stanford for three summers where i studied calculus at the age of 15, introduction to business and this summer i will be taking image through the texts. For my summer, i also traveled all over Europe studying the culture. I went to Barcelona to perfect my spanish at the international house and also immerse myself in the culture. Ive been on the varsity tennis since my freshman year of high school and am now captain in my junior year and will be next year as a senior. I created and ran a breast cancer fund raising committee through my tennis team and the school. I was on honorable mention for my division throughout high school and also was mvp of my team for all three years so far and i suspect that i will be next year. I also won athlete of the week freshman year and athlete of the year in my junior year. I have a 3.86 gpa out of 4 in all honors courses. My school is a magnet school meaning its funded by the government and students need to be accepted. Its very competitive and hard to get in to. It also has five academies and i am in the biomedicine academy. Due to our academy class and various electives, juniors can only take one ap and i chose ap chemistry. Next year im taking ap statistics, ap goverment and ap physics on top of calculus and regular honors classes. I was awarded high honor roll each semester as of junior year and high achievement awards in spanish, english and biomedicine. I received a 32 on my acts and still havent taken the sat 2s. i also attended the Enviornment leadership program in Hawaii with Brown University. I do tons of community service with habitat for humanity and the local hospital. i also teach tennis lessons and help out in my commnunity. I have alot to offer and i would love to offer it at stanford. Please tell me my chances :)
