<p>I am an international student from Brazil.</p>

<p>I got a 2100 in the SAT (M 780, W 670, R 650), will take SAT 2 in Math2, Physics, French, and US History. My TOEFL is 110 (iBT).</p>

<p>I went to the US for 2 years through several scholarships, including Rotary's Exchange Program. There I took 3 AP classes, and did an independent study for another. My scores were 5 on Calc AB, 5 on European History, 4 on English Lang and Comp (which I think is pretty good considering English is my 2nd languange), and a 3 on Physics B (I didnt take an AP class for this course, just a regular Physics class and was invited to do the exam, so there were lots of things I didnt learn). So I received the AP Scholar with Honors award.</p>

<p>Furthermore, I am fluent in 3 languages: Portuguese (native, I am from Brazil), English, and French ( I lived at a french family in the US for 1 1/2 year, so I got to learn the language as well). I got fifth place national on the National French Exam this year.</p>

<p>I also became part of the National Honor Society and Beta Club while in the US. I did lots of extracurriculars, and the most important was MUN, where I got two awards, Best Delegate and Elected Rappeurtour. I also do volunteering, and I am creating a project where I will teach English to poor kids at my city in Brazil.</p>

<p>Oh, and before I forget, before going to the US as an exchange student, I was the first student at my class in Brazil, having the highest grades in all classes.</p>

<p>So, what do you guys think?</p>

<p>You definitely have a lot of advantages over the average foreign applicant, including a very high SAT score for a foreign student. As a US native, I'm not familiar with the TOEFL, so I can't comment on your score. Your AP scores could help, though I don't think they play a large role in the admission process. They're mostly just for gaining college credit at the university you go to; the SAT and ACT are the main tests used for gauging your college readiness. Your extracurricular activities are looking good too, so I don't see any problems there.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a great chance!</p>
