You would be considered I would think, your ACT score is a bit low, but thats not all they look at, and your SAT score is good.

Seems that you have a really good background and work/study ethic so I wouldn't worry too much if you for some reason don't get into Stanford, there are plenty schools who would love to have you and probably give you much better scholarships and the same level of education.

My advice at this pt: take the ACT again =) It's by no means a bad score, but I'd try it again just to see anyway =P. Also, apply to several schools - at least 5-10 go on visits to a couple before you make a final decision. Don't decide just because of the bragging rights =)

Don't apply to lots of colleges. Just the ones you would enjoy going to. If that happens to be 10, fine, but don't think you're not going to get into college if you don't apply to 10. I applied to one (UC Davis) and was accepted, and I'm happy. Applying to that many overloads the application system and makes people think that it's difficult to get into college.
Your academics seem very good, I don't know if Stanford has a personal essay/interview, but be sure to do well on those if/when they come.
