Note: This is basically a copy a post I made in the “Chances?” category. I never knew that I was able to ask questions here directly.
I really want to know where I am; I hope I don’t overestimate myself and my expectations. Going to Stanford has always been my dream school ever since I visited the school in 2007. It’s fairly close to my house and I want to stay near my family. My backup would be UC Berkeley, UCLA, or UC Davis. Majoring in Pre-med!

To sum it up, I think I’ll do pretty well on this portion of the application, but my ecs are weak compared to those I’ve seen on this site… I focused less on ECs freshman and sophomore year because I wanted to do well academically.

ECs:
The numbers in parenthesis ( ) indicate the grade or grades participated

Piano: (3-12) played for fun, entered recitals, won few awards
Badminton: (5-12) entered tournaments around the city, 3rd place in my area
Girl scout (3-10)
Red Cross club (9-12) President (11-12)
Medical club (my friend and I made it) (10-12) co-president since the making
Key Club (9-12): Vice President (12) activities coordinator (11)
UNICEF (9-12) Vice President (11-12)
NHS (10-12)
Student body (11-12) Treasurer (11) Vice President (12)
Varsity volleyball (9-12) captain (12)
Varsity track and field (10-12)
Varsity badminton (9-10) doing it again next year
Volunteering:
Elderly home (7-12) around 400 hours
Local hospital (9-12) As a leader, my role is to create groups and assignments for the volunteers. I spend about 25 hours a week here during the school year. Total: 500? Hours
This summer: a 1 week medical research/interaction camp in L.A.
Currently trying to volunteer at the Stanford hospital and/or participate in a program at Stanford.
I talked to a surgeon from my local hospital, and he said he’ll let me know if someone he knows is creating an event/research or something

Well, yeah, this is it. I put a lot of effort into my grades and extracurriculars, so hopefully it pays off.
Like many other students, I really want to go to Stanford and I would do anything it takes.
Also, I plan to do Stanford REA.
I know the acceptance rate is a bare 5%.
If you have the time, I’d like a chance for UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Davis too.
Pre-med major
Thanks for your time.
