<p>FUTURE EC's</p>

<p>-(Hopeful) CSF President
- LVY Core Team ( Leaders of Community Service Club)
- Block Club (Leaders of My High School)
- Museum of Fine Arts Internship in the Summer</p>

<p>So applying for 3 leadership roles.</p>

<p>Any chance for financial aid?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance everyone ! Again, first choice is UCLA, other choices are inside California in SF/LA areas. HAVE NOT TAKEN SAT or ACT yet!</p>

<p>i say slight reach cuz only 1 ap class, your like top 15 percent in your class and your ec's are mediocre. however we won't know until u take sat's, i dont know if being filipino will help</p>

3

<p>If anything, being filipino is a disadvantage, since Asian is the majority. It's so weird being white and in the minority. haha.</p>

4

<p>Why would being Asian in itself be an disadvantage when admissions are holistic and non-race based? </p>

<p>GPA is alright, but that can be made up for with good SATs. ECs are so-so (to be honest, most CSF chapters are a joke, and used only for that honor stoll/tassel/regalia. If you can start a new program within CSF, increase enrollment, or something, then that might be better).</p>

<p>It was a joke, I wasn't being serious.</p>

<p>Jinobi's right, SATs could help this. We can't really say anything until you get those done.</p>
