<p>Colleges might weigh in the fact that you are not a native speaker of English when they consider your SAT reading/writing scores, but you should try to bring them up. </p>

<p>Given your stats, I suggest you broaden your college list and add a few safeties. You must also make sure that you and/or your parents can afford the colleges you picked. Keep in mind that, if you are not a US citizen or permanent resident (i.e. green card holder) yet, you will be treated as an international applicant and, furthermore, you may have fewer options of financial aid available to you.</p>
