<p>Hello. I'm a senior in high school, and while I'm about to submit my applications for schools, it's never too late to add/subtract a few from the list. I live in Arizona and go to a very small college preparatory high school (my class rank is 6/46, if that says anything about it).
My ideal choices are USC and Stanford, which I realize are both extremely competitive, but a comprehensive list is at the bottom. I would really appreciate the help!</p>
