<p>I just finished junior year, hoped to get an idea of what to expect when I apply. I'm looking at an engineering major at Harvey Mudd, UCLA, USC, Berkeley, Caltech, or Stanford (not gonna happen, I know).</p>

<p>Work:
Aided local ALS patient with hand/foot exercises one hour once a week; 10$ per hour, 3 years

<p>I'm most worried about my ECs, as you might imagine. I'm not a natural-born leader, far from it, so I've sort of given up any chances of Stanford or its like. I know family history is virtually nil at this point, but three grandparents, one parent, and one sibling of mine has gone to Stanford, so I suppose that might help slightly. Comments, suggestions welcome, please.</p>
