Warning
For those who don't like to do a lot of tedious busy work, don't apply to Stanford. Stanford REQUIRES students to complete the Common App's "Courses & Grades" page, though, if what you entered does not exactly match what is on your transcript(s), that is okay. Stanford will still review your official transcript(s). With that said, try your best to complete the "Courses & Grades" page on the Common App to the best of your ability before submitting your Common App to Stanford.

Good luck getting into Stanford!
