Yes, VERY generic question, I know. I also know that the admissions counselors usually say that there is no "one strict set of rules," but I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what I should be doing (I'm currently a junior in a small private school). Also, what are good SAT/ACT scores to shoot for? Any other info about admission to Stanford would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any and all help! :)
Answer
More importantly than your GPA is the quality and degree of difficulty of your classes, and your ranking. They'd rather see a B in a class like AP Physics than an A in Earth Science, four years of a language than shop or Home Ec, and your ranking will give them insight on how well you've done in your environment in comparison to your classmates. Every year strive to have a schedule with a breadth of courses. One recruiter told me that balancing out heavy-weight traditional academic courses such as AP Calculus with creatively challenging ones like AP Music Theory, Art & Drawing, Choreography and the like would be impressive to the admission committee. Also seek out leadership opportunities in your school and community, such as being a class officer, the editor of the newspaper, captain of an athletic team or being an active volunteer. It's better to excel in a few specific areas than to just be involved in many.
The majority of admitted applicants to the class of 2012 had a GPA of 4.0 or higher, were ranked in the top 10% of their class, and had a SAT score of 2250 or better. This year there was a 20% increase in applicants from last year, and it was the hardest year in the history of the university to be accepted, so you'll need to have even more impressive stats than the ones for the class of 2012.
Work hard and enthusiastically, take on challenges, make the most of your summers by taking classes, volunteering or working, and then when it's time to apply, put a serious amount of thought into your essays. The application will become available in July. Review it then and write your essays over the summer. Ask your teachers to read them and give you constructive criticism. At schools like Stanford where there are so many applicants vying for so few spots, readers are assigned to go over applications and the essays, and if you're essay was poorly constructed, there's a strong chance the committee won't dedicate a lot of time to even reviewing it themselves. So, you have to make sure your essays and application are nailed down tightly.
Good luck!
