I don't have many extra curricular activities
All I have is: field hockey, piano, track, lacrosse, and a lottt of community service hours.
I also speak three languages fluently, but I don't think that's an extra curricular activ.
Does anybody know if this is enough to get me into a GOOD college, like UCLA. My GPA is also a 3.8.
Any other extra curricular activies I could do?

But you've got enough skills & extra activities. You don't need anymore but can get them if you want to. =) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Don't burn yourself out.
If something else comes along that interests you, go for it, just beware of taking on too much and having everything you do suffer. Colleges are deeply afraid of burn out, and your should be too.
So, if something new that interests you drops into your lap, grab it, but don't force yourself to find another interest, you are doing just fine. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

You could volunteer at a local elementary school and set up a homework help program. If you set it up, that would also be impressive.
If you really want to.. you could become involved in another sport, like soccer, basketball, or whatever.
Student Council wouldn't be a bad idea. That shows leadership and dedication.
I'd say your GPA is really good, and as long as you score really well on your SAT, you're golden.
Ask your counselor if you think you may need more ECAs.
Good luck!
