Life after high school.

(This might be a "personal" entry to some point.. and by the way, I'm not bragging or trying to show off by NO MEANS. I just need help! Just wanted to say that before someone accuses me. Thank you.)

I'm currently a junior in high school and attend a medium-sized public school in a small town about half an hour away from Los Angeles, California. I've done fairly well in all my classes and I haven't taken an AP course yet (next year, I'm taking 3). I've been president or held some kind of position(s) in clubs, participate in band since the 5th grade, and on the swim team. I've done so many things, but is that really enough?

What does it take?

Since my school is fairly large, a class of 500+ students, I feel that I need to be more competitive. Yet, somewhat I feel like I don't want to try. I really would like some advice from the public about colleges, acceptances, and just advice in general.

I am freaking out.

The stress of junior year is finally hitting me. Those darn SAT, SAT II, AP, Honors, and other things are certainly stressing me out! My mind is going crazy thinking about where to apply to, what I want to be, and etc!

I know I want to be in the medical field. But what does it take for me to just get in a college/university?!

I hope someone can shed some light about college applications, expectations, and just everything. I've done everything from reading books to asking for information, but somehow I just don't think that's quite enough.

Peer pressure is certainly weighing me down as well.
