<p>I am a Spanish student currently studying at an American High School in the NATO Headquarters in Belgium (member of the Department of Defense Dependent Schools in Europe (DoDDSE)). I will be graduating as a junior, as this is my family's third and last year here and I would really like to attend university in America. I just want to know what you guys think my chances of being accepted are at these schools. I will be applying for financial aid in all of them, i don't know if that will decrease my chances. So here are some of my stats:</p>
<p>-GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.3 W. I have had straight As all the way from freshman year.</p>
<p>-SAT: 2150 (will retake it in December to try to get 2300+)</p>
<p>-SAT IIs: I will be taking Math II, US History and French in November and expect 700+ on all of them.</p>
<p>-Class rank: surely among top 5 out of around 60 (I believe I have chances of being Valedictorian or Salutatorian but I still have to ask my counselor to compute it).</p>
<p>-Currently taking 4 APs: AP Calc, AP Physics, AP Lang and APUSH (self-studying this last one because it's not offered at my school).</p>
<p>-Managed to earn 3 credits worth between online classes and attending Spanish school (independent to American HS) during the past school year and over the summer. So last year I was taking 10 classes at the same time.</p>
<p>ECs:</p>
<p>-Varsity Cross Country (9th grade): number 3 runner, placed Top 10 out of around 100 runners in several races, letterwinner.</p>
<p>-Varsity Soccer (9th, 10th, 11th grade): Division I DoDDSE Champions, letterwinner and will most likely be captain this year.</p>
<p>-Varsity Tennis (10th, 11th grade): team captain, Division I DoDDSE Doubles Championship Doubles Runner-Up and letterwinner.</p>
<p>-Selected to represent Belgium in a leadership board in NYC.</p>
<p>-Invited to leadership conferences in NYC, Los Angeles and Singapore (I guess this doesn't count that much since thousands of kids get invited to these haha)</p>
<p>-Work tutoring Elementary School kids (8 hours per week.)</p>
<p>Ok, so I know these might not be really "impressive" stats for schools like Duke or UNC, but I think (or at least hope...) that they will take into account the fact that when I moved here 2 years ago I wasn't able to hold a basic conversation in English, and here I am now, taking AP English. My ability to learn fast and eager to keep improving have impressed my teachers and counselors at school, and I hope colleges will like it too. I'm guessing that they will also like the fact that I study at an International School with Belgian, American and German sections with students from more than 25 countries. Living in these International environment of cultural mixture also teaches people a lot of things. My essays are tuning out to be rather great and I have excellent letters of recommendation from my teachers. So what do you guys think? What are my chances? Should I apply EA in order to increase my chances? What other schools should I consider applying to? I would appreciate your help a lot!!</p>
