<p>Also on my list of colleges: George Washington University, Boston University, UCs, Georgetown, Northwestern, etc. The latter two are huge reaches, I know.</p>

<p>I forgot to add that I’m bilingual as well, if that helps any.</p>

<p>I applied to Wesleyan and Johns Hopkins and was accepted to both so I guess I must have some idea of what they are looking for. It’s pretty hard to tell what your chances are since there aren’t too many stats to go on. Your EC’s look good but a tad unfocused (besides piano). Some other information would be useful such as race, income, scores on AP’s, approximate rank, etc. Some of these things (rank, income) may play little to no role at all but it would help give a better prediction. Overall, it looks like you’re on the right track. I would try to raise that GPA and if you are expecting 2100-2200 on the SAT’s the first time around, definitely take them again and see if you can get them higher. Don’t forget to take SAT II’s and do well on them!</p>
