Answer 1

Just wait. You can't do much at this point.

In short, it doesn't look good. Your SAT is obscenely low for Stanford.

Like I said last time (in case you forgot :) ):
What's your socio-economic status? Single parent home?

On stats alone, I'm afraid your chances don't look the greatest. GPA, SAT, and extra currics. You're in an area (assuming from the LB CC comment) where there are quite a few kids with better stats. So, you're gonna have to show you came from a non-privileged background (or some other disadvantage beyond simply being the first to college) to explain why your stats aren't quite as good as the other kids. I'm not saying you don't have impressive stats, just that Stanford is VERY competitive to get into. It can be scary seeing the resumes of the kids who get in.

Answer 2

A lot of factors go into it. Your SAT scores are low which may hurt the good news is universities seem to put less and less stock into the SAT each year. Also other factors like where you come from. You have some solid credentials, but you cannot get a definate or even a highly probable answer. Just assume you cannot get in and hope for the best, you never know.

Answer 3

If you have a very well written personal statement, i think there will be no reason for them not to take you. your SAT score is Okay, it's probably a little above average. But since all of the other areas are perfect then yes why not??

Answer 4

I don't know if you've realized...but no one can answer your question DEFINETLY.
We're not the ones deciding.
I mean, from what you've said, you're very impressing, but it doesn't mean they HAVE TO take you.
Calm down.

Answer 5

ur ACT and SAT's are kinda weak...
