Thanks you all for your responses.
The Sciences-Po I'm talking about is not the so-called "real" Sciences-Po in Paris, what I'm interested in is this program in Poitiers that focuses on Iberoamerican studies (the politics and history of Spain, Portugal, and Latin America) www. iberoamerica. sciences-po. fr if you're interested. You spend two years in Poitiers, a third year studying abroad or doing an internship of some kind, and the last two years you do your Master's Degree in Paris, specializing in whatever you want. I realize it will still be pretty hard to get into, although not as much as the main campus in Paris, but Sciences-Po doesn't look at EC's, GPA, or SAT's, they only care about the AP's (they recognize the AP Int'l Diploma as a "final exam", kind of like the Bac), and I think I'm pretty well set with those, so I might be fine.

If you've read my first post, I'm pretty good with languages, so hopefully I'll get used to Quebec French.

Do any of you know the process of getting into a French-speaking university in Quebec from an American system? On the UdeMontreal website they said that in order to enter the university as a freshman you need a HS diploma + 1 year of university, and I find that hard to believe (that must be without any AP's) I sent them an e-mail yesterday, and I'm still waiting for a response. I hope that my AP's can make up for that extra year...
