<p>I'm a california resident and here are my stats.</p>

<p>gpa:4.0 uw 4.33 w
sat I: 2050
sat II: Math 2c-790, chinese-780, US history-720
AP:
US History-
English-
Economics-
Calculus BC-
Bio AP-</p>

<p>other:
100 hours at a organization for autistic kids
Tzuchi 1 year
1 year badminton
chinese club member for 4 years, president for 2, treasurer 2,
Chinese Honor Society2 years, 1 year secreatary, 1 year treasurer
csf member 4 years
Chinese School 12 years</p>

<p>I'm too lazy to list the other clubs. I have basically no extraciricular or awards taht are worth mentioning. The main reason is because of my parents pressuring me to concentrate on grades and SATs...I was thinking I could use that in my personal statement.</p>

<p>I'm aiming for Berkeley and my backup is LA and San Diego.</p>

<p>Don't tell the UCs that your parents pressured you to concentrate on grades and SATs over ECs in your personal statement. It's not really a bad thing, but it's really not going to make you stand out as an Asian applicant because we have roughly 11,000 of those types already attending UCLA (who had no ECs except Chinese school, piano lessons, violin lessons and Kumon). Talk about something unique about you that no one else has...</p>
