Fling every cliché about high school out the window: At San Francisco's Lowell High, the cool kids are geeky overachievers and the hot goss revolves around GPAs. Amongst the highly ambitious, largely Asian American student body, five seniors open up about the college application process, sharing what it’s like to pursue admission into the country’s most esteemed academic institutions.
