What are my chances for Columbia, Brown, Harvard, and Stanford?

<p>Hello. I am a new user of CC, so I'm not quite sure if I'm posting this in the appropriate place. I want to give an overview of myself to posters here and hear what people think my chances are for the schools mentioned in my title. </p>

<p>I am an American citizen, but I do not consider myself American. I was born here, but I left soon after that and grew up in a country of the EU, where I lived until last year. I am currently a senior (so I moved to the USA junior year) and in the middle of the application process. I have a 4.0 GPA for my first two years of high school, and something like a 3.7 GPA for my junior year. My career GPA is approximately 3.9. In my first year in the US, I took 3 AP courses, even though I was not familiar with the concept at all. This year, I'm taking 3 AP classes again. I am fluent in 4 languages, and got a 5 on my AP English and AP World History tests last year, even though I'm not a native English speaker by any means (I never used English before I moved here). My ACT score is 31, and my subject test scores are 730 (Literature) and 780 (World History). My extracurricular activities involve a musical instrument, a foreign language, a cultural club, a robotics team, paid job, community service, team & club sport, dancing, and a few others. </p>

<p>If I'm missing any other significant information, I'd be glad to provide it at your request. I'm hoping to get some responses, since I really have no clue what my chances are, mostly because this whole system is completely unfamiliar to me.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I forgot to add, I currently reside in a Midwestern state, and my high school is extremely competitive and ranked in the top 200 high schools in the country.</p>

<p>First, what major are you applying to? </p>

<p>One thing that caught my attention is your ability to speak 4 languages fluently. I would definitely expand on this as an essay, EC etc. </p>

<p>Other than that, your ACT is in the bottom 25% of the schools you mentioned. Good GPA, so maintain that. </p>

<p>Good luck. </p>

<p>Thank you for your reply, viphan. I am interested in the Humanities and Social Sciences. History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Comparative Linguistics, International Relations, Political Science, and many more majors interest me greatly.</p>

<p>Sooo… you are undecided for now, which is fine for many colleges. At this point, I would choose to apply to schools that have good programs overall in case you want to switch your major.</p>

<p>I am applying to schools that have great programs across most different fields. And yes, apologies for my ambiguity, I am Undecided, as you pointed out.</p>
