<p>I think that UCs care a lot about your extracurricular activities. It could differentiate a book worm from a leader. Sure GPA and SAT/ACT scores are important, but they’re taking a holistic approach, so ECs are also important. With that being said, a strong application that emphasizes your accomplishments beyond academics is a must. So, I think you have a great chance at being accepted to both. This is coming from someone who got into both. Good luck :)</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance!
ECs are more than fine, you have 200+ hours of community work so that’s also great.</p>

<p>I don’t really see a lot of leadership positions so maybe you can work on that senior year (and keep your GPA high so they see an upward trend)</p>

<p>Chance me back?? :slight_smile:
