Chance a super anxiety-stricken senior!

<p>Okay, so I'm becoming super anxious as I prepare my essays and applications to be sent in. My top three schools are Pepperdine, UC Santa Barbara, and Stanford, but now my family is freaking me out and making me apply to a bunch of other school because they are all worried about my chances. Pepperdine is literally all I talk about, so I'm extremely terrified of it not working out. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2010
ACT:32 (superscore)
GPA (weighted):4.44
GPA (unweighted): 3.98
Rank: 31 of 533
AP: AP english lang last year (3); AP calc, AP spanish, AP psych, and AP english lit this year</p>

<p>Clubs: Photography Club (VP freshman year, President all other years), Spanish Honor Society (historian), NHS, Key Club
Work Related: Photography Assistant for a local pro photographer (around 80 hours), personal assistant for a local businesswoman, I own my own online store where I make and sell clothing and accessories</p>

<p>Other: I have a cousin who graduated from & was a professor at Pepperdine. My high school has had a student go on to Pepperdine every year so far. I do not have strong religious involvement.</p>

<p>I will be finishing and submitting all three applications by November 1st (and through ED for Stanford)</p>

<p>Stanford: Reach, even in ED
Pepperdine: Low match
UCSB: Safety</p>
