Stanford is obviously one of the most selective colleges in the world, but what can I do to really stand out to the admission officers? Meaning, what do you think they will focus on the most? Currently, I’m a freshman in high school doing Speech and Debate, Math Competitions, and Drama. What would be your greatest advice? Thanks!
