Chances for a canadian?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Alright so, I don't have as much information as you probably need, but I kind of just want a general estimation of what my chances are as an international competing with like some crazy smart asians. Also, looking at other people's stats I pretty much feel like I have no shot, but let's try this anyways :)
So, I'm a 16 year old girl in grade 11 at a public school of about 2000. I'm taking pretty much the hardest classes of anyone in my grade. I'm in the French Immersion program which means I used to take all my courses in French, but now I only take French and Socials in French. So basically, I'm totally fluent in French. I'm in AP Biology, AP Physics, AP Chem, AP English, Honours Math and Spanish. I have 90-100 in all those classes. Last year (grade 10) I received scholarship money for my grades. I have a 4.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale which is unweighted I guess? As for class rankings, my school doesn't take into account whether you're taking AP classes or not so it's kind of unfair. As for ECs, I've taken dance seriously since I was little, about 10 hours a week. Um I used to take piano seriously, and I'm a certified lifeguard and I have a part time job? I'll try and go on grad council next year too. The thing is at my school we don't really have counselors or anything and we aren't as involved as students are at schools in the U.S. so yeah, I sorta feel like I'm not a total standout at my school considering involvement soo that's probably not to my advantage. I'm taking the SATs in May so I don't have those results for you, and I know that will affect it a lot. Soo, hoping I do well on those, and I write a decent essay what do you think my chances would be at getting into University of Washington? And also Stanford? :) If you read that whole thing, congrats, and thanks!!</p>

<p>Oh, and also, probably only about 10% of my grade will attend university.</p>

<p>Okay I realise that this is kind of vague information that doesn't completely help, but could someone please just inform me if what I'm doing is atleast pointing me in the right direction to have a chance at this?</p>

<p>Doesn't hurt to try applying.</p>

<p>Stanford is unlikely given those statistics unless you show some passion or proficiency in something at a very high level. The Canadian I know who was admitted, but elected not to go, was a hardcore programmer. Stanford is hard as hell to get into as a Canadian international. Harvard is easier for a Canadian international (higher number of internationals, almost double). Try applying to Harvard. They like the well-rounded feel a lot, but those well-rounded things will have to be at a high level.</p>

<p>Okay thank you very much for the advice! Yeah, when I was in California last year I went and saw the Stanford campus which was obviously beautiful, and probably not the first one I should have looked at because now everything is a bit of a let down. :P If anyone knows any Canadians on here who've been accepted to American universities I'd really like to talk to them!</p>
