<p>schoolgirl - I believe that it is important to go to a school which has one of the professional schools you aspire to if you have plans to do medicine, business, law or anything else. If you are there, you have the opportunity to work on the type of ECs that get into the type of professional school you would like to attend without having to work on them outside of the school. You will have access to take seminars with law school profs, have access to work with them and work towards your goals. It is a given that Stanford has a preference for their own grads but if you do well enough at Stanford, you can write your own ticket to any school.</p>
<p>I don’t believe you will be out of place at Stanford. They have plenty of support groups for minorities and goes deep into academic aspirations.</p>
