Hey you! yes you - chance me please

Hi, I am a student from Czech republic and I would like to know what are my chances to get into an ivy league school.

I am applying next year to: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Standford, Cornell, Darmouth, Brown... I would like to do polical sciences in the undergrad. I graduate next year

My gpa is 3.9 (i know thats bad, but Im still in the top 5% and grading in the czech republic is lot tougher). My school is one of the most selective highschools in oir country
ACT- i should get over 32 and sat subject test both close to 800 (but it is lower because english is not my first languege- do they consider that right?)
we do not have any AP classes. so I couldnt take any

I am hoping that my extracurriculars are gonna get me in- what do you think?
I do study a lot of languages- besides speaking czech I speak english, german, spanish, I study franch, russian and I took classes of latin and chinese
I founded and lead schools club for political simulations, with which we participated at Yale model government europe, Prague student summit and National selection conference, with which we were chosen to represent czech republic at the international european yout parliament
I founded and lead one of the biggest debating club in the czech republic
i debate in the team that the czech representation is chosen from
I play in a theatre
Im in Czech-german youth forum- i am working on a projekt to make Germany and Czech republic closeer to each other.
I spent a year in the US
I perfom in the theatre
I am the president od school parliament
I am the editor in chief in the schools newspaper

What do you think? If I apply to all of these schools, do I have a chance that I will be accepted at least at one of them?

Make sure you apply to safety schools as well. Or is staying in the Czech Republic your safety? All of the schools you listed are extremely competitive.

Will you need financial aid? Remember that many schools are need-aware for internationals.
