Answer 1

As I've said before, likely not. Mainly cuz of those test scores.

You're seriously stressing over this wayy too much. Just forget about it and you won't be all that disappointed if you don't get in. Will get a huge surprise and thrill if you do.

Answer 2

Did you write your essay already?

If you don't elaborate on all your hard work on foreign languages, community service, and music on your essays, you have ZERO chance with your SAT score. Everything you just said is VERY, VERY impressive, however it won't look nearly as good on the lines you are given to explain your extracurricular activites, etc. Ergo, you need to use the essays to elaborate.

Additionally, the essays have to reflect your character, demanding good writing. The essay is the king, the make-or-break.

I guess you applied already and can't change any of your essays. But you can probably still send in supplementary material if you want to, which I recommend. I mean, we're talking about Stanford.
