this may be a dumb question, but how do the colleges know if you volunteer on your own time…do i have to fill out come kind of a form before doing any volunteer work to make it official? please help me with the procedures!

also…i have been sort of non-involved ever since…well…forever. i had no EC’s in highschool, but had pretty good gpa (3.75, weighted) but that shouldnt really matter now b/c im in a com. college. so here are my stats please tell me my chances

-3.7 gpa (difficult major:biology, 80+ units)
-won v.p. and deans scholarship
-honors program
-does being a teacher’s assistant for biology help at all?
-will begin doing lots of com. services soon, i still have 1.5 years left
i am vietamese,female, well rounded but cannot really prove that b/c i just like to do my own thing like music festivals, fashion, etc. so im hoping to include that somehow in my essay w/o any official proof.

my school of choice is 1.UC berkeley, 2.UC santa barbara, 3.UC san diego WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?!
