You're just 20. You have a long time to fulfill your dream. Don't stress out over this or overthink this. If you want to, apply. If you don't make it, apply a few years later. They won't reject your application if you eventually become experienced enough to contribute there. Also, I wouldn't recommend putting Google on a pedestal. Working at Google is nice and prestigious and all, but you'll deal with a lot of dumb bullshit at any big company you work at, including Google. Google might be very prestigious and all, but having an important role in a startup in Portland can lead to a much nicer overall lifestyle.
