Will a SAT score of 1450/1600 with a 4.0 unweighted and really good extracurriculars (Eagle Scout, Tennis, etc.) get me into Stanford? I’ve been on the admissions committee of a top ten university (not Stanford but one of its major “competitors”) for over 20 years and on the committee deciding finalists for the most prestigious scholarship at arguably the top public university in the country. I can tell you with great certainty that there is absolutely no way to say whether you will be admitted to Stanford or any other top school, even if you have an unweighted 4.0, perfect SATs and ACTs, lots of 5’s on AP tests, several patents, are a nationally known musician or athlete, and are perfect on paper in every way. The reason is that the very top schools could fill ten classes with qualified applicants from each year’s pool, so to get it down to the number for acceptance in a single year means making judgment calls about making a great CLASS, not just a bunch of great individuals. We want every class to have musicians, inventors, politicos, scientists, policymakers, writers, philosophers, religious and atheist, from all over the world who have demonstrated a love of learning, of new experiences, of challenging themselves in every way. You undoubtedly fit that model, so you certainly have a chance of being admitted; however, it depends on who all of the other applicants are and how Stanford (or Harvard or Princeton or Duke or MIT …..) sees you as fitting into the class they are creating. I remember vividly an amazing girl who applied to my university a few years ago - she had an unweighted 4.0 at one of the most difficult private schools in the Washington, DC area; she was class president, a star athlete and captain in 2 sports, a published author, 2nd runner-up at a major international science competition, and had emigrated with her family from Nigeria at age 10 so she had a fascinating life story. I interviewed her in person and she was amazing. However, she did not get in (she ended up at Princeton, so she’s fine), while other students who may not have looked as impressive on paper were admitted. She was a very strong candidate and made it to the “final round” of discussion, but the admissions committee ended up taking other applicants with different talents and experiences because, among other reasons, it had already admitted, on Early Decision, several students with credentials similar to hers. My best advice would be to apply Early Decision to your #1 choice school. It is easier to get in on Early Decision because (1) there isn’t as much competition, and (2) the school knows that you will come there if admitted, making their yield numbers higher. Second, spend a lot of time on your essay — it is very important at the top schools. They look for creativity, deep self-examination, critical thinking (including about one’s self and one’s beliefs), and of course, excellent writing skills. Take care with those you choose to write your recommendations; a great rec from your chem teacher is more valuable than a merely good rec from a Nobel Prize laureate or a famous person who doesn’t know you as well as your teacher does. Geographic location makes a difference, too; all things being equal, a 4.0 student from Montana probably has a better chance of admission than a 4.0 student from New York City. It’s also really important to keep your mind open to other great schools with similar qualities to Stanford. What is it you love about Stanford — the entrepreneurial culture, the weather, the campus, the alumni? Or is it just the name/brand of Stanford that attracts you? More than one school exists at which you would be very happy and successful, so please try not to be so focused on just one. Admissions officers can spot the applicants who are only drawn by the brand very quickly. ©Quora Sincerely, @ninjasblog #application
