Do I have a chance?

Hello,

So, I live in the republic of Georgia and I’m dreaming about getting into a U.S college.

I’m an academically excellent student. The thing is that the scoring system here is different but I do have the highest grades in every subject. I’m fluent in English and I’m a pretty good writer too, so I expect I’ll do well on the TOEFL test.

I’m also bisexual, doesn’t seem relevant but I thought I had to mention it. I’m planning on writing my essay about the difficulties and challenges I face everyday as a closeted, yet still bullied bisexual teenager.

As far as my extracurricular activities go, I am a very tech savvy yet still very communicable, people-loving person. I have a YouTube channel with over 20,000 views and 300 subscribers and a Behance portfolio of my work with over a thousand views and 300 likes!

I was a part of the student government in the 8th grade and do plan to join next year (I expect I’ll be elected, I’m the only one who volunteers from my class to join the thing). I swim but it’s more of a seasonal thing.

Next year, I’m planning on creating two school clubs - Math club and Environmental club, since there are no clubs at all in my school.

Finally, I’m also going to play chess next year, I’m so excited!

By the way, I’m trying not to cram everything I can do into my schedule, because I’ll need to prepare for the SAT, its subject tests (Math level 2 and probably U.S History or English Literature) and the TOEFL. I’m also trying to stay authentic and real, because I know the admissions officers will smell BS from a mile away.

I’m so eager to continue my education in the U.S and I know I have a very good chance of getting in a lot of colleges but since I can’t afford a lot of them, the only ones I can apply to are the Ivies and some others.

With all the info about me stated above, if you have any questions please ask!

Do I have a chance at getting into the Ivy league schools or Stanford?
