<p>i really really want to go to berkeley but i don't know how to pick ec's that standout and win arards which i think are necessary to getting in! its not all about academics which i have all down but for example people have won competitions and all sorts with numerous things. some of these people also seem to know oppurtunities in the school that nobody knows about and things like that! i feel so lost like all my time to do ec's in highschool are running out! this is kind of where i will stand later on, i feel so lost... i need advice. i am a sophomore now.</p>
