There will be tons of colleges that will want you with your great GPA.

Please do not stress about getting into a “good” college. The most important thing is what you already have: the ability to do quality work at school. You can go to a really good college and do all kinds of interesting things. Or, you can just go to college, live your life as you want, and see where your path takes you.

As a California student, you already have good choices. Apply to your favorite UCs and CSUs. Try McGill, which doesn’t really do holistic admissions.

Anything you’ve done, such as babysitting, caring for a family member, or helping a neighbor counts as an EC. If you feel you have room in your schedule, pick up a part time job. Earn some cash, get valuable experience, and meet people. It’s also a good thing to add to your activities if you’re really worried.

You can have a great college experience and it doesn’t have to be at Harvard. Apply to a reasonable list of schools, not just top 20 or 50. Take advantage of the new tool on Niche, which gives you a decision without an application. There are some good colleges using this tool. You have to Google niche Direct Admissions.
