[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone comment on accepted or denied EA students to Stanford?  What kinds of high schools and stats?[/quote]

I know of a local private school kid. Both parents went there and have made multi-millon dollar gifts. Smart kid, don't mean to diminish he accomplishments, but...[/quote]

Rejected...Our son has a 4.85/4.0 at a VA Governor's STEM School.  1550 SAT/ 35 ACT, 8 varsity letter's, captainship in one.  Has dedicated over 700 hours of community service to include youth advisory board of the largest youth volunteer organization in our area.  Club sports at the highest level and all of the other obligatory clubs...National, Spanish, Science and Math Honor Society as well as Special Olympics Committee.  [b]Reality is these schools are a crapshoot, can't get mad if you don't make it[/b].[/quote]
