Coming from small school. Looking to go to Stanford or UCB.

<p>Again, same page.</p>

<p>*We recommend students make arrangements to take the required tests well in advance of our application deadlines. It is unlikely that scores from tests taken after our deadlines will arrive in our office in time for our review process. We will certainly review any scores we receive (even if they arrive after the deadline) but we cannot promise to delay the review of an application in anticipation of scores that will arrive at a later date. *</p>

<p>It’s up to you to decide whether it’s late or not.</p>

<p>Have some safeties, too, but you shouldn’t give up aspiring for Stanford. The harder you try for Stanford, the more you guarantee a spot at any lesser place.</p>

<p>About Ivies… I don’t know really… my friend got accepted to Brown with almost no extracurriculars whatsoever. You just need to dream. And try. I think it’s almost fair to say that the admission process is random.</p>
