You need to find a way to dial back the worry. Getting into college is not going to be a problem for you, unless you have your heart set on one of the really competitive schools. So that you don't make yourself crazy, you might think of college like joining a sorority. You need to keep an open mind and look at all of your alternatives. There is nothing wrong with attending a state school (I'm doing just fine, thank you), or the many many schools out there that would love to have you for those 4 years that are not Stanford or Yale. If you're freaking yourself out about this already, you might start looking at "normal" schools where you have a reasonable likelihood of getting in. And going to a college just because it's the toughest to get in (much like sororities) is a recipe for disaster and disappointment. Remember, a lot of really amazing and successful people went to college where "anyone" could get in. So quit freaking out about it.
