Awards: National AP scholar, national merit semi finalist, honestly not much. I think this may be one of my weaknesses.
Extracurriculars:
-Debate club president and founder/coach of a team for a specific competition (LD debate) since our team only did 1 type before (parliamentary). I did this for 4 years. My coach retired this year, so I made a campaign to get funding and recognition from the district, which worked.
-Cross Country Varsity Captain for 1 year, in varsity for 4 years.
-Played piano and got the certificate merit level 10 and went to the state convention and played for the school jazz band for 3 years, with 2 years as an honors class.
-Treasurer of California Scholarship Federation (CSF) for one year and President the next year. I earned like 40 hours of community service as a part of this club running a blood drive, helping homeless, tutoring, etc.
-Manage my own group of 10 volunteers to do a local community service project under a county based organization. I earned around 70 hours, but spent more planning logistics, etc. This wasn’t a school operated thing.
-Did the Bank of America Student Leaders program which is basically a summer of 7 weeks of internship followed by a week of a camp in DC.
-Treasurer of a publications club that successfully published a collection of submissions of art and literature in junior year. I’m not sure if its happening this year, yet as it really started mid November last year.
-Link leader at link crew. Basically volunteer at freshman orientation and then help the freshman adjust throughout the year with events and checkups. I’ve done junior and senior year, since sophomores aren’t allowed to.
-Did an internship at a local business over a semester.
-I attended a 2 week camp at UCBerkeley Haas School of Business, but I’m not sure if its relevant.
I think my recs are really good, and my essays are good but about asian identidy so idk.

Concerns I’m afraid that my ECs are very boringly asian, and that I don’t really have any awards.
