How Schools Will Look at This?

Sooo not really a chance me thread but similar…

I’m international and just got accepted to a really good boarding school(prep-school) with a full scholarship for both my years there and to go to college(as long as it’s in the scholarship program, includes all Ivy-Leagues, Stanford, MIT, etc.)

At my current(soon to be former) school I didn’t have that many extracurriculars, clubs or community service hours because it just wasn’t readily available.

At my new school I plan to be as involved as I can, there is so much offered and I plan to take advantage of that. But how will the colleges I apply to in a few years see my record in my home country? Will they understand that I didn’t have as many opportunities there?

All comments and thoughts appreciated :)
