Community Service:
86 hours as YMCA camp counselor
Various other small service events (less than 15 hours, likely will not list them)
In my opinion, I feel as though I have much “filler” on my application, only a few meaningful things…?
Colleges:
Georgetown University
UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego
Cal Poly SLO, CSU Long Beach, San Diego State, Sac State (ultimate safety)
Oregon State
Occidental University (may or may not apply, too expensive)
US Air Force Academy (completely different application process, not really asking for chances just noting here)
My obvious reaches are Georgetown, UCLA, and Berkeley
Getting a letter of rec from German teacher, AP US History teacher, and possibly Calc teacher or internship supervisor (she offered)
I’ve completed 2 UC insight questions essays, but I am unsure of their quality and might redo them.
Don’t mind my shorthand, I just wanted to finish this quickly. Thank You
