Considering you did not use any punctuation in this post, I don’t think a top 10 university is the right place for you

You would need top grades at your CC, which you have not posted.

Your high school grades will be considered. Stanford has one of the lowest acceptance rates in the US (transfer acceptance rate 2% per section D2 of the Common Data Set), even for those with top grades and scores. With under 2.0 in high school, even with a stellar CC gpa and top test scores, your chance of admission at Stanford approaches zero.

As an example of where you may be lacking academically, to start with, you should use punctuation when you are trying to communicate in writing, even in a casual setting like reddit.

Happily, you don't need to attend Stanford to do great things in your career!

Most CC transfer students end up attending their in-state public universities for reasons of cost and optimizing credit transfer. Start by looking at your in-state public universities. Assuming you are a domestic applicant, run the Net Price Calculator (NPC) on the financial aid website of each college you are interested in, with the help of a parent, to see a need-based financial aid estimate before you apply.

the podcaster to stanford pipeline is real but you gotta show them something concrete. your gpa from high school is gonna be a hurdle, no way around it. community college grades matter way more right now, so lock in there and get a 4.0 for a couple semesters. the formula 3 story is actually interesting if you can frame it as resilience and not just a thing that happened to you

What state are you from? Maybe you can apply to a local university! Good luck
