School does not rank

-Volunteer at the special olympics for 2 summers
-Heavily (my mom's charity) involved with a charity that uses music to raise funds to help the needy.

-Youth group president for two years and have gone to Mexico with my church to establish a vacation bible school for two summers.

-I worked at a grocery as a cashier

No really prestigious awards.

My recommendation letters should be decent and my essays should be good.

-UCB (i wish)
-UCLA
-Michigan
-Dartmouth
-Cornell
-NU
-Emory
