i'm not sure i have much to offer,, but would i be considered?? i don't think my EC's are great either,, but i really want to go to the school and i haven't been able to do EC's cuz the distance from home (( i know it sounds like an excuse but i live faraway~

What do you mean that you don't have ECs? Earning a black belt and speaking two languages with a third on the way, is pretty impressive. Much more impressive than being president of French Club. You just need to do a good job of talking about the things you do. If you degrade the experiences the way you have here, then you'll really hurt your chances.

thanks, and i'm pretty sure they have my ethnicity represented so i'm not a minority. FYI: asian/ american;
how would i make my EC's stand out? would they ask me these kinds of stuff during the interview?

The interviewers ask something like "What do you do outside of school?" And that is when you will need to tell them of your extracurricular activities. I had a few interviews, and that was what the interviewers asked me. Other than that, it's just a casual conversation.
