What are my chances of getting into Stanford?

I am absolutely intrigued by Stanford University because it has tremendous student diversity and is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley. I understand that Stanford is reputed for accepting applicants that truly have a passion and have out-of-the-box extra-curriculars (activities that are tremendously unique that define you as a person). My passion lies in innovation, the human body, and engineering.

My dream is to pursue a major in Biomedical Computation at Stanford and possibly attend medical school in the future to specialize in anesthesiology.

Note: I’ve posted this on College Confidential and have failed to receive the best advice. 🙁

Voila, my stats:

I attend a very competitive top ranked feeder public school in California.

GPA: 4.5 W 3.5 UW (Junior Year 1st Semester – took 5 APs and 1 Hnrs)
SAT: 2130 (retesting in March)
SAT 2: Math 2-790 (taking Biology M and USH this June)
Extracurriculars (these I believe, are the strength of my application): Varsity Tennis (4 years) – Captain this year; Guild Piano International Social Diploma holder; State finalist Destination Imagination; Tournament of Champions qualifier and Varsity Congressional Debate debater (many awards and finalist trophies); 1st place County Science Fair with scholarship (state qualifier); piano teacher; management job at start-up music company; co-founded 501(c)(3) tax-exempt micro-philanthropic non-profit organization for neuroimmune disorder (unique organization but won’t give details here) ; president/founder of Tri-M Music Honor Society chapter; partnered with dermatological manufacturer to sell novel solution for herbal acne remedy (provisional patent); school audition-only chamber choir (2 yrs), founder of Special Education reading program for autistic youth at nearby elementary school; ambassador for environmental management firm; about 300 volunteer hours; cancer researcher studying novel method using telomeres at non-profit biotech company; Stanford neuroimmunology intern with PhD professor – published novel scale to diagnose narcissistic personality disorder in the arts (similar to renowned Myers-Briggs); recipient of city Outstanding Teenage Citizen Award by community Parks and Services Department, received environmental management scholarship from environmental engineering firm, received Discus Award for All-Around Students; California SuperTeen Award; National Merit Semifinalist (Finalist announcements still pending)

I’m currently a junior. During summer, I will be going abroad to complete a hospital internship with an MD in carotid endarterectomy. I will also be submitting an abstract to and attending the 2013 HCEA SfN Medical Conference (5th largest medical conference in the world).

Do my chances look good? What are my strengths and weaknesses? Which parts of my application particularly stand out to you and are Stanford-worthy?

If you got into Stanford or any other splendid college/university, please add some advice with some stats and graduating class!

Thanks, I really appreciate your help. 🙂

How to study for the World Scholar’s Cup?

Me and my team just signed up for the World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) 2013. This year, you need to do your own research as they give you guidelines on how to do research and there are no resources. My teammates and I have only a month to study for WSC so how do we study efficiently for WSC. We want to go to the Tournament of Champions this year so any help will be appreciated. 🙂
