MIT wants TOEFL + 2 SAT II (one option)
But as I am sending them my 2 SAT IIs I’ll send them my SAT 1. It was written that they will take the test (TOEFL or SAT 1) that makes me look better ^^ haha - of course they will look at both of them ^^

Ok - what about Brown? My girlfriend got into Brown and I am considering going there (but really, really I prefer Stanford and if I can go to Stanford and Brown I’ll definitely go to Stanford). What I like about Brown is their flexibility - they won’t make me take Literature or History classes as almost every other university will.

So - for Stanford. I was told to have PERFECT essays. I know that for a long and I know exactly what to write to them. So - on that point I think I can get there.
Here comes the SAT 1 scores. flid and my stanford friend tell me that they are not so important. I take this fact into serious consideration. I was told that another Bulgarian student was accepted into Stanford without SAT 1 (I met him a week ago He has two medals from IMO but I don’t know exactly what).

So - I hope I won’t screw the TOEFL this Friday!
I am going to screw my 5th International Jauticov Olympiad in order to study only for SAT 1 - is it worth it?
Deam - this application process is tough! So many sacrifices :/

Thanks a lot guys!

If anyone else has to say something ( negative or possitive) please do so! I need your opinion!

I’ll really appreciate if somebody from Stanford can tell me something ^^
