<p>^Oh okay. I don’t really know how to answer your question. You need excellent grades, excellent extracurriculars, excellent recs, excellent everything. Once you have that, you still have a very low chance of getting in, because a lot of other applicants have that too. The most you can do is do everything as well as you can and apply to a lot of good schools and not get fixed on any particular one. If that sounds vague, sorry, but there’s no cookie-cutter steps to take to get in.</p>
