<p>your EC aren't focused on anything.. its the typical asian EC list, don't worry i'm korean (not trying to be rascist) so i have roughly the same list as yours:
sci bowl, ocean sci bowl, sci olympiad, violin, community service at hospital, red cross, research, piano, math competition yada yada yada..the typical stuff</p>
<p>try to focus your EC list.. to a few things such as:</p>
<p>academic teams
research
music</p>
<p>and expand on them, listing the awards, positions you earned</p>
<p>write an incredible essay: they could easily not take a person in b/c of their gpa or sat grade but less if it's because of your ec, maybe getting that high gpa allowed little time for ec and it's not like you have zero.
I think you are a safe candidate :)</p>
