I am an international student from Brazil.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

So, what do you guys think? Maybe??

what's your GPA?
otherwise, you look like you're in good shape, but no guarantees with an admission rate of 20% in SFS this past year.
Boost your SATs too, b/c SFS has the highest SAT scores (even with the highest admission rate) at Gtown

well, my school back in brazil doesnt really calculate a GPA.. all the grades are on a scale from 0-10, and most of my grades are 9 or 10, and one or two are 8 or 7.5... this might sound not very good, but for the brazilian high school curriculum it is, and i had the highest grades in my class...
as for the US school I went to, the first year i had a gpa of 92 out of 100, and the second year of 95...but the thing is that I went to the US not knowing english very well, so I had to basically suffer for a while...
