<p>Let's just keep a general idea of where everyone is headed (those that are applying to UC's). Compare SAT/ACT/AP scores to just get a feel for the people you are up against, list extracurriculars and things done/achieved outside of school, talk about problems that we're having. Rant stress. Rank the UC's. Just have fun, I guess. BUT don't be DISCOURAGED. Write a amazing essay. Think up ideas.</p>
