all those things you've done are awesome... and the fact that your first generation college helps. And you're tri-lingual?? totally solid. Test scores are really not important anymore, and gpa's aren't an accurate determination of the kind of person you are, so colleges will only put a fraction of their decision on those things. Based on you extra curriculars, I'd say you're a pretty solid option for any of the colleges you mentioned. Honestly, you should apply to any college that appeals to you, regardless of their average test scores, etc. Apply to them even if they seem out of reach because the whole thing is such a game. Good luck!!
