My chances?

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 3.7 (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
SAT- I hope to get it over 2100 (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 yeae in the US

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?

Hmm... Your conditions certainly aren't the best, but it would not hurt to try. You never know, you just might be accepted into one of them!

Well you have to compete with the Chinese and Indians who do nothing but slave away at academics. lol, but then again they are looking for something that they don't have. It would really improve your chances to write a good essay from a unique point of view that no one else in Yale's class would have.

^yes definitely, Try and present yourself as an individual- something or someone they do not have, but should have.
