Wow... I go to SAS. (If you're referring to the international school in Shanghai.) You sound more amazing than most of the students here (we're in the same grade)... I think it's very likely that you will be accepted. I heard that there are less spots in ISB. My friend applied from SAS with a 97 average, and she was one of the only applicants accepted. ISB has a very strong focus on athletics, so if it is your top choice, you might want to consider participating in more sports. I may be mistaken, but I think SAS requires SAT scores for admission, but if you ace that (which I'm sure you will) then I'm rather positive you'll be accepted! I suggest you apply earlier so you have enough time in ISB/SAS to impress your teachers and participate fully in extracurriculars for your college resume.

As an alumni of ISB, I'd say you have a good shot
