<p>Your test scores a solid. Your ECs are strong as well, and the foreign exchange programs are good for your intended major. You have leadership positions and are self teaching yourself three languages at once… that very impressive considering how hard it is the learn new languages (and how long it takes). </p>

<p>Your weakness is your GPA. However I, unlike most people on here, do not believe that will be too detrimental to your application. The fact that you have taken 12 AP classes is pretty impressive. You are obviously challenging yourself. I do not think your GPA will break you. </p>

<p>Just a note: People have gotten into Harvard with 3.0 GPAs. Don’t let yours worry you too much.</p>
