Dear Sakshi,
It is mandatory that you take counselor recommendation, in your case your high school counselor will write the recommendation letter. Do follow instructions clearly stated on the portal.

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

Hi Ashish,
Both the universities are known worldwide, while Stanford is amongst the world's top 5, John Hopkins University's medical school is also top ranked. Both the universities are amongst the world's leading research and teaching institutions. Career in biomedical science is wide and diverse.
You must not only have strong academic grades, but also possess necessary skills. Be aware of the competition around. If you plan to settle abroad, be informed that it is not easy for an international student. Possible job opportunities include:
1. RnD.
2. Academician.
3. Counselor.
4. Various jobs in pharma and manufacturing companies and so on.
