<p>I think that's it . Please chance me for these colleges and I´ll chance you back. Your honest opinion please.</p>

<p>P.s- i´m white and non of my parents have been in universities at u.s.</p>

<p>Your ECs are quite good and interesting. If your SAT and SAT II (I think Stanford wants Math II score) show improvement, your chances will increase. Otherwise you will be competing with folks with as good an EC plus strong academics.</p>

<p>I would have to agree with fall2016parents on most of that, which is to improve sat and sat II if they like not up to par. I think everything else is quite good. ur GPA is great and especially your ECs, perfect. i would personally suggest you try to work on SATs now and practice. and maintain that GPA or go even higher. Overall, I would say great, just improve those SATs a bit and I think u would be quite competitive. </p>

<p>just note that stanford is hard to get in. i heard their acceptance rates are very low. and i heard school’s more like international ppl b/c they are more cultural and bring a different taste to the school. so i think u have an upper advantage there. If you know more than one language (which i assume u do, portuguese) then great. colleges look at round characters. just bump that sat score up and i think u’re good to go. competitive-wise ofc.</p>

<p>here are the SAT scores you should try to be aiming for or at least get close when u are aplying to stanford: [College</a> Search - Stanford University - The Farm - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>

<p>u need to get those scores up. ecs are great but ur gonna need to hit 2000 on the sat and ur sat2s should be 680+</p>
