Getting into Stanford
Hey, I'm a junior in high school, and getting into Stanford is pretty much my dream for college, and who better to ask about what's required to get in than current students?
Anyway, I was wondering. I've been given this impression that only straight-A students, which I was until just now, get into Stanford. I have ONE B on my record, for my first semester Pre Calculus class. I was ranked one until now, and I don't know what the B shall do to my rank.
Does rank really matter a lot in getting into Stanford, and will having a B on my transcript affect my chances? Will the fact that I'm not number one anymore be a big problem?
I do love to write, I play piano, tennis, and I'm in several extracurriculars. But is it enough? :/
