Thanks very much lkg4answers. For various reasons, I don’t do much outside of school that’s worth putting on that list of activities and awards (except what I already listed). While I’m applying to UCs (since I’m a resident), I’ve long understood that they will mostly be out of reach for me. This is why I have all those OOS schools on my list - mostly looking for schools where my minimal A&A won’t hurt so much. I will get to work on those PIQs though! Thanks for the push there.
