<p>You’re the kind of passionate, ambitious applicant the top schools are looking for. You’ll have plenty to write about and talk about, and the fact that you’ve fairly successfully overcome the language barrier so quickly is amazing. If you can get your SAT to a 2200+, you’ll have a good chance at even the Ivies, and a 2300+ would basically get you in for sure. I realize how random Ivy admissions are, but if you can properly tell your life story, I don’t see any reason the top schools wouldn’t let you in.</p>
