Thoughts/Reflection
Perfect size, great majors, nice campus, and great location (close to San Francisco!!!). Stanford University is definitely one of my top, and possibly my dream, school. The problem is is that is is HIGHLY prestigious. One of the most selective schools I've seen. Do I even stand a chance? My lack of activities worries me. I am definitely going to work extra hard on this application and make sure my essay STANDS OUT and makes up for my credentials. When I visited the school, they said they look, not for well rounded students but a well rounded class. This means unique students and unique activities. I hope they stand by that.
