<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I'm a senior who has applied to 6 UCs and well it's killing me. I need peace of mind regardless of what is said. I'm holding on to hope strongly and I think I need some real input from knowledgeable people. If I continue to go off of hope and self confidence I stand to break down when the time comes assuming all goes wrong. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>2 semester type school. I've taken 5 AP's and a lot of honors courses in 10th and 11th grade and I'm currently taking 4 now.</p>
<p>Outside of school I have volunteered at:</p>
<p>District Election Campaign - I was a volunteer/intern for a local election where we made phone calls, visited people door to door, and in general helped manage the day to day activities of the campaign. </p>
<p>Reading Foundation - Essentially I helped sort books that would then be sent off to children without access to reading materials. </p>
<p>Mosque Volunteer - Volunteer at my local Mosque. Perhaps not very unique, but it's mostly cleaning and learning more about the religion whilst doing so.</p>
<p>Clubs/Extracurricular:
Key Club - Vice President - Key Club is a volunteer organization under Kiwanis International that cultivates leadership and friendship among the youth. We essentially volunteer outside and inside of the school and I've netted about 400+ hours of volunteer work through Key Club. As vice president now I handle all the social events for the club and more importantly I am responsible for contacting and setting up events for our 70 members. </p>
<p>Auto Repair Club - Treasurer - Essentially I joined to just learn more about automobiles in general. I hoped to pick up some practical knowledge and skills that would serve me when I learned to drive. I liked it so much that I decided to run for treasurer and I basically managed the funds of the entire club.</p>
<p>Magnet Student Council - Secretary/Treasurer - I love student government so I joined our student council and I ran for Treasurer my first day there and won. I managed the funds for the magnet student body for an entire year. This year I'm the secretary and it's my job to keep record of everything from attendance to funds.</p>
<p>Academic Decathlon and Science Olympiad - I tried things out in high school not necessarily committing to everything. I joined the Science Olympiad my freshman year and became secretary. Then it disbanded and I joined the Academic Decathlon team.</p>
<p>Swim - I did it for one year to try my hand at a sport. I didn't know how to swim prior to joining and I squeezed through tryouts just barely. I worked my butt off during the season and got a few second and third place medals which isn't wonderful but it's a personal achievement I suppose.</p>
<p>Awards:
Apart from basic things like honor roll I have little. </p>
<p>-Won an environmental science expedition scholarship to travel and help scientists in a different area with their research.</p>
<p>-Swim team for 1 year didn't know how to swim, learned received 2nd and 3rd place medals.</p>
<p>My essays are arguably good at least in my opinion which I suppose doesn't hold much merit.</p>
<p>Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White</p>
<p>First one to go to college and first generation here.</p>
<p>Oh and I'm applying to political science/economics for most of the schools.</p>
<p>Thanks again I appreciate it tremendously.</p>
but i think you have a shot for UCD
