- Community Service Team: 10-12
- Spanish Club: 9-12
- Robotics: 11, 12
- California Scholarship Federation: 9-12
- played piano since the 3rd grade (though I doubt that counts for anything because I never took a test of merit or competed in any competition)
Awards:
- Biology, Geometry, Algebra II
- California Scholarship Federation: 9-11 (probably 12 too)
- I will probably get the National AP Scholar award next year
Volunteering (70+ hours):
- Operation Gratitude (30 hours)
- volunteered at my temple (15 hours)
- I volunteered at other organizations including retirement homes, food pantries, etc.
(I know that I did not really stick to any certain organization, but as a part of the community service team at my school, we were supposed to try out various community service opportunities, so we could then tell other students our experiences with them and help them find the community service organization that is right for them)
Interning:
- interned at a doctor’s office (30 hours)
Schools I am applying to: UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, Pepperdine, Occidental, Harvey Mudd
So, what do you think? My dream school is UCLA, so if you don’t want to chance me on all my schools, please just chance me on this one. Harvey Mudd is my reach school, but I doubt that I will be accepted with my scores. USC is second in line for me if I don’t get into UCLA, but I can’t go to USC unless I get some sort of scholarship (they won’t give me any financial aid). Do you think I have a chance of getting a scholarship at USC?
THANK YOU!!
