<p>-High School Junior.
-Asian :( (unfortunately... I get lumped in with all the other kids who have been going to tutors every day of their lives since they were 3 and have been going to SAT boot camp since 7th grade... my parents are by no means "those" parents so I get all the downfalls of being Asian without that "extra boost").

<p>Teacher recs should be really good since I've gotten pretty close to the two teachers that I'm planning to ask to write my recommendations and they both know me as an excellent student. If needed, counselor rec should be pretty decent since I've somewhat gotten to know her... though not truly STRONG. IDK about my essay yet...</p>
<p>Preferably in California. I'm looking for some good matches that I should look into so I can get a pretty good idea in what ballpark I should be looking... which UCs are matches? CSUs are safeties.. open to private schools.</p>
