Unfortunately my English has been my major weakness throughout my life, regardless of how much I try
EC:
Varsity Badminton Player for 3 Years
I helped around in a library for a few weeks organizing and sorting a LOT of books
Used to do track (had a 57 second 400, 2:20 800 and a 5:40 1600).
I ran my first 5k last year and got 50th place overall and 3rd place in my age division with a time of 21 minutes.
When I was a sophomore, my teacher asked me to participate in a math competition, and I got 7th place in Algebra 2 out of a bunch of smart bay area people.
I’m also a chess player (haven’t played seriously for a while because of school)
I don’t have as many EC’s as many do in the usually CC discussions, but (in my opinion) I prioritize my grades over EC’s (not to offend anyone this is just how I feel).
Many of my Junior teachers are willing to write letters of rec, so I think I’m good on that part.
Basically, with these stats, what are my chances at getting into UCLA or UCB (or other UCs)?
If I don’t have a good chance, can you guys recommend me any other good colleges?
If there is anything missing that I should include, please let me know.
