<p>Hi. Just so you all know I'm a current high school freshman. I know that you are all probably thinking that I shouldn't be worrying now, but the reason I'm asking this is so I don't have to worry. I want to know what I need to do to most likely get into these colleges: UCI, UCSD, UCD, UCB, UCLA, and Cal Poly SLO. I get free tuition to cal states and UCs because my father was in the military.
I plan to do an IB and AP combination, let's say I'm gonna get 2 Bs and the rest As. I'm probably gonna have pretty high test scores. My essays are probably only going to be OK though. The real problem is that I have no extracurriculars. I'm in one club, no leadership, and I don't plan to join any more clubs. I also don't have access to research (no laboratories nearby, plus I'm too shy to ask). So do I need to do more? I can pretty easily get the high gpa and test scores, but do you think I need to do more to get into these universities in the extracurricular department?</p>
