Hello everyone,
So, my family moved to America nine years ago from Somali. I have taken the most rigorous classes so far. I will have taken 9 AP classes by graduation. I have a 3.6 uw GPA and 25 ACT( i know its low), but I did this all onto of learning a new language. My ECs are OK. I hold close to a full time(30 hours a week) job because my family needs the money, intern at a current political campaign and in two school clubs. If it helps I come from a really poor family, like less than 20,000 dollars/annually. Here are the schools I am applying to:
Yale
Columbia U
Middlebury college
U of Chicago
NYU
Boston College
other smaller, safety schools

What do you guys thinks my chances are? Thanks in advance!
