<p>I was thinking of applying to Stanford…(my uncle went there for med school and my cousin is there now, [who is hispanic on the other side of her family, ironically]) but I don’t know if I want to go that far from home. I may apply RD though.</p>
<p>And yeah, my guidance counselor is just going to say I had a medical issue…hopefully it won’t arouse too much suspicion.</p>
<p>Thanks so much to all of you–I was feeling extremely discouraged cause when I told my history teacher I wanted to go there she was like “You’re not getting into Yale.” Meh 
at least I have a chance! Thanks again :)</p>
