Do you Think I'll Be Able To Get Into Stanford?

Don't worry your little head about test scores right now. The best thing to be doing at the moment is to be starting SAT and ACT test prep with a tutor. Also, it would be helpful to know that top tier schools such as Stanford are likely going to deny you if you do not show depth in a certain area of interest or involvement. You've heard the saying "depth, not breadth"? Well, it rings the most true with great schools like Stanford. The admissions department will not look fondly upon a student with impetuous ambitions of leadership; it is seen as a mark of insincerity on the student's part. You're just a freshman so you have time to change habits, so if you find that you're involved in every club, mission trip, volunteer opportunity, and academic society, make sure that you've demonstrated a true pion in at least one area of interest. Good luck!
