<p>You have great chances. You're an intel. you're SAT scores would put you in the mid-50% of most top liberal arts colleges. And, don't worry about your teacher recommendations. Your teachers can write in their native language and you just translate it to English. Most colleges will accept translations provided that you send the original text. </p>

<p>Of course, there is more to getting admitted into top colleges but I would say your prospects are very good. I just hope that you have some other hooks.</p>
