<p>ECs and clubs:</p>
<p>*Peer Tutor ~~ 2 years; I tutor math and science students through my school's tutoring program
*Volunteer at local library ~~ 1 summer; I will be volunteering at my local library this summer, and hopefully during the upcoming school year as well
*Member of Youth Group ~~ 5 years; I've been a part of a religiously-centered youth group in my community which organizes community service projects and things of that sort
*Shelter Helpers club ~~ member for 2 years; centered around activism for animal rights and community service geared towards animal shelters
*Wonder Women club ~~ member for 1 year; centered around activism for women's rights, especially in underdeveloped and third world countries
*Best Buddies club ~~ member for 1 year; a couple of days each week we eat lunch with the disabled students at our school, as those students don't have much contact with non-disabled students at school otherwise
*Human Rights Watch Student Task Force ~~ member for 2 years/Co-President junior year and hopefully senior year; a club centered around human rights activism which is part of a much larger organization encompassing many schools in the area</p>
<p>I know my ECs and test scores are both weak spots. I planned on volunteering at the UCLA Medical Center this summer but I never heard back from them, so I guess I'll just apply again next summer. I'm also planning on joining some more clubs next year. In regard to test scores, I plan on starting to study for the SAT this summer, so I can hopefully make up for what I expect to be low SAT subject test scores. </p>
<p>One question, I know that UCLA does not accept score choice for the SAT, but is the policy different for SAT subject tests?</p>
<p>Am I on the right track? Thank you!</p>
