<p>Hello, I'm a US national and dual-citizen but have lived all my life in Spain and attend a spanish non-international school. I would like to know if I would stand any chance at all of getting into any Ivy League colleges.</p>
<p>Rising Senior
I'm not sure how to translate it into a 4 point scale but had a 9.8 out of 10 grade point average at the end of my junior year with a very clear upward trend, going from around 8 out of 10 in the spanish equivalent of 9th grade to almost straight 10 out of 10 grades. </p>
<p>SAT score of 2050 (740,730,580) Barely practiced before the test and planning to retake it and think I'm capable of 750 across the board.
SAT II -Planning to take Math II, Physics and Chemistry and would expect good grades</p>
<p>Coursework
Courses don't work in Spain exactly in the same way as in the US, you don't pick each individual course, you pick a specific path. I'm doing the "Bio-sanitary path" which includes Maths, English as a foreign language, French, Philosophy, Spanish Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Spanish History and Geography. Apart from doing the full spanish curriculum I'm also doing the IB Diploma in a special program my school has in which I'll be taking Maths SL and Maths HL, English B SL, Spanish A HL, Biology HL, Philosophy SL and Chemistry HL. </p>
<p>The IB grades I already have are 6 in Maths SL and 7 in English B, and would expect to get at least 6 in all other IB exams.</p>

Spanish is my mother tongue but my English is also native-like, very proficient at French, I'm good with languages and possibly would be passable at Italian by the end of year 12.</p>
