Stanford

I am a sophomore with a 4.0 un-weighted GPA and a 4.43 weighted GPA. I take very rigorous classes and do community service whenever I can. My dream is to study psychology at Stanford and I need tips. I feel like so many kids are ahead of me in terms of extracurriculars. I don't know what to apply to or what to do to stand out. I know that I need to make my application stand out by making it all connect to one clear theme but I don't know what. Help?

Hi there! Just remember, schools like Stanford have hundreds of students apply each year that take the same classes. What truly makes you standout is everything else. You're not behind, you have time. Try to keep internships and service within medical related areas. I am sure you guidance counselor can help with that. You got this sweetie!!
