<p>are you planning to be a theater major? because your acting experience might be a hook.
other than that, you look like you have a pretty impressive resume. the only problem is that you're international (even out-of-staters have a harder time getting into UCs). i would say that it would be a good idea to spend a lot of time on your essays (the UC ones are the same every year and you can find the topics online) and ask people to read and have some input!</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>ps if you've overcome hardship in your life and effectively write about it and how you dealt with it, it will create a fuller picture of you (which is what they like to see :) ) so i would recommend writing the third (open-ended) UC essay on that.</p>
