You appear to be padding your resume. Don’t use anything that wasn’t done in high school. Presenting middle school activities can intentionally seem as if you are trying to mislead the reader.

Do you need financial aid? It affects everything. Major? The public schools will be very expensive.
As an international candidate, with that SAT of 2200, UCLA is a reach.

@aunt bea THX a lot for your advice! OK I will cut off those activities in my middle school. But I would like to keep photography, because I’m really into it and it all started in my middle school.
I don’t apply to financial aid. Intend to major in Civil Engineering or Electronic Engineering? Still struggling with it.
(I have a question: does my ECs seem irrelevant to my intended majors?)

If you’ve been very committed to your photography, it’ll show even if you exclude middle school activities. Note that you were president of the HS photography club for 2 years (I presume you were a member for the other two years of HS). List the awards in the relevant section of the common app. It’ll be quite clear that photography is a passion of yours, even without mentioning the middle school activities.
