<p>hello guys i would really appreciate if someone answers my query </p>
<p>the thing is that i am a gold medalist (national[India]) would it help me to get into any university of California... i am giving SAT and my gpa is also like 3.4</p>
<p>THNX!! IN ADVANCE IF YOU ALL HELP ME OUT</p>
<p>Only if you think you're good enough to compete on the Inter-college level; and only if the relevant UC competes in Karate, which I don't think is a recognized competitive sport yet...</p>
<p>thats sad .... no use of my national level sport :-( i just wasted my time then i think if it is of no use... :-(</p>
<p>It's not a negative. It's a great EC to put on your application, but i think what limnieng was trying to say is that it won't get you in the UCs for sure.</p>
<p>so wat do u think ,will it make somewhat make me stand out ...?as in,among admission candidates?</p>
<p>ps:srr for the spellings of National</p>
<p>lol srry for saying <em>srr</em> hahaha my brain works faster than my typing</p>
<p>Like I said, it's definitely a plus, but not a HUGE one. It'll make you stand out somewhat, but don't expect it to get you in. Remember: Extracurriculars can only do so much. Just make sure you have to stats to stand strong among candidates. That's most important.</p>
<p>thnx jacob..... and limnieng</p>
<p>eh.. i dont think so. </p>
<p>IF so, I took grand champion (at the time, Two weapons, one fist form, All Gold) wheni was 13 at chin woo internnational tournament.</p>
