<p>i'm currently a junior in high school and a recent meeting with my college counselor has inspired yet another wave of college paranoia. stanford is my DREAM school, and i am fully aware of how selective it is. i just wanted to know if any accepted students or graduates can offer some advice or guidance on how to stand out in the admissions process as well as essay tips and general suggestions. thanks!</p>
<p>be yourself :)</p>
<p>everything you do, try to be different/stand out.
write an essay that no one else could have written.</p>
<p>-consider what your best attributes are
-have faith/confidence within yourself throughout the entire process</p>
