Not to discourage anyone or anything, but those of you applying to *just* Stanford, MIT, UCB, etc, I would apply to a school you know you can get into 100% for a backup. You never know who Stanford's gonna pick. The UC's arent admitting many many over qualified people at this point in time, and I'm sure the Ivy League schools are like Stanford.
Alaina: Make sure you apply for the UoP FIRST scholarship if you end up getting in. I didn't, and there were only one or two people that did =/ I ended up deciding not to go there, but getting money can never hurt
