Am I stanford material?
If you have to ask, then probably not.





Regardless of all your achievements, the number one most important thing in life is confidence.





Most of the crap you mentioned is butt-kissing and overachieving. What have you really done? What is the nature of your character? What is in your soul?





In the end, you can be as perfect as perfect can be... but you might not get in that year because they happened to be looking for something else. Generally, the stuff you listed is what will get your file looked at.... but character is what gets you IN.

Best bets for admission are in top ten percent of class, high GPA, and recomendation letters from people the dean of admission would like, whomever that might be...
Reply:I think you have a decent chance. With those top, top tier schools, though, you NEVER know--they reject incredible students sometimes, and accept ones who aren't as good as them. It can be rather arbitrary. So...have a couple back ups, but definitely apply.
