<p>Hi everyone, I've been reading all these posts on CC and I know I'm definitely not the best student. It's a harsh reality check because my school isn't very competitive and I always thought I was an above average student...Anyways. Please chance me! Unlike many students in the Bay Area, I want to apply to some private liberal arts colleges instead of UCs, but many privates are much harder to get into than UCs. I'm fluent in three different dialects of Chinese and proficient in French. </p>
