<p>I’m pretty sure you can get into U of Florida and U of Miami. And maybe Northeastern. Your SAT II scores (math and bio) aren’t so great; however, your GPA is beyond amazing, and schools do prefer students who are bilingual.(which you are) </p>

<p>Now, moving on to your main question:
Stanford prefers In-State students over others from differents states/countries. Also, it is known as a big sports school, and as you mentioned, are you really good at softball? I guess you are since you’ve been playing for six years, and this could be your forte. </p>

<p>My friend got into Stanford with pretty average GPA (3.7) and SAT I and II scores (2010/ math II: 720 / French: 740), but he was #1 squash player in my province, and Stanford gladly accepted him for his talent. </p>

<p>Try to find stuff that you’re really good at or passionate about. Hopefully, the admissions committee would find this and choose you over thousands of applicants.</p>

<p>Good luck!
