Chance me! Fresh in HS getting advice for ECs. Aiming to go to UCs and Stanford

I just want to emphasize that there is a very large universe of colleges out there, with all sorts of cool academic programs, different sizes, formats, and setting, different ways of being affordable, and so on. So when the time comes in a couple years to get serious about developing a college application list, the goal will be to find colleges that fit YOUR interests and YOUR needs and YOUR preferences. You should not try to conform yourself to whatever some pre-conceived list of colleges want.

And if you do it that way, and pick a reasonable list of Likelies, Targets, and Reaches that meet YOUR requirements, you really cannot go wrong.
