Shiksha Ask & Answer

Dear Sakshi, While no where it is mentioned that the AP's would be mandatory but generally as they are challenging course curriculum which give a fair idea to the university that the student has scored high results in AP challenging himself which added/combined with other application materials gives him an edge. However you may see the selection process of Stanford at http://admission.stanford.edu/basics/selection/profile.html for more clarity.

Hello Sakshi, Since Stanford is one of the elite university thus an expected 4.0 comparable GPA is expected from even International students which is almost a 90%+ as per CBSE/ICSE & a good 40-43 IB points or similar in A levels. The gist is you must be in the top 1-5% of the class at your school with a good percentage & keep your profile as versatile as possible maintaining your academic grades in high school.
Hope this would help.
Good Luck
