Its honestly too hard to tell without SAT/ACT scores of some sort. I'd say you're doing pretty well thus far. Taking the hardest course load? What is the rank?

I feel you could concentrate your ECs a bit more to specific things. You need a hook...

my school doesn't rank, and this year (tenth grade) can only take advanced spanish, which I took. Next year, they offer AP english, Advanced spanish Lit and Pre-calc as the harder courses, I signed up for all of them. Next year I'm going to focus my interests mainly on language and psychology, I'll be taking a college level psych course, have an internship at a school for disabled children, be in the spanish group and take another hebrew class

Yeah, if that all goes well, that's good, then. If your SATI/II scores prove to be good, you have a really good chance.

Good luck!

You're only a sophomore, give yourself a chance to breathe. You're doing fine, on the right track to say the least. As long as you stay involved and continue to do well academically, you'll be well set come college app time in a couple of years. Once you deal with the whole SATI/II thing and get your recs, you'll have a better idea. Until then, just keep doing what you're doing and have fun.
