hopeless? save me!!!

Hi! <3
I'm a female asian from Canada.
Well, to be more specific, I'm a Korean student(Intl.) studying in Canada. I have been studying in Canada since the second term of gr.8
(I don't know why I am mentioning ethnicity but everyone else does..so...)

I don't have any official scores because I haven't took any SAT tests yet, but I am planning to take SAT2 BIO this January.
(And hopefully SAT1 in June)

I know that it's hard to see the chances of acceptance without my official scores, but can you still tell me how I am doing?
I really want to go to the states for my university, but I feel hopeless sometimes. Please tell me my chances!


GPA:
gr.9 92% - probably around 3.7~3.8
gr.10 94% - 3.8~3.9
gr.11 96%(progress report) - 4.0 finally got all 90s!
my school does not rank
(but i am really worried because the class size is extremely small)

Awards/Achievements:

Gr.9
- Pascal contest(math): top mark in school
- Fryer contest(math): gold medal
- school honor roll

- Math top mark

Gr.10
