<p>Well, sometimes in the Match round, colleges are looking for very specific groups to match - URMs, for example - and you may not be matched. The RD round, however, gives you a MUCH better chance of being accepted into a QB partner school. If you don’t want to do the Match round, you can always apply for QB, then if you become a finalist, put that on your application and apply SCEA to Stanford. Win-win. Best of luck!

<p>(P.S. I was exactly like you - Stanford was #1 by far. But I was not matched to Stanford, but to Yale, which is non-binding. So now, I have another shot at Stanford in RD round, and PLUS I don’t have to worry at all through these months because I have another great school I could go to. Just make sure you don’t do binding schools since Stanford is your #1.)</p>
