I’m currently a junior in HS (in-state, 3.95 UW GPA, 4.16 W GPA) and I’m worried that my EC’s aren’t good enough for a school like UCSD (my dream college). I’ve heard that you need to be well-rounded in EC’s but also that you need to focus on math and science-related ones; which is true?

My EC’s:
-CSF (10, 11)
-Speech and Debate (9, 11), placed at a few tournaments.
-Tutoring at the school library (11)
-Volunteering at the local public library (starting next month)
-Volunteer web designing for non-profit organizations (11)
-Webmaster for my parents’ online apparel sales (10, 11)
-Planning on freelance web design work over summer

What more would I need to improve my chances?

Thanks.
