Being Indian certainty does not give you any advantage - probably a disadvantage.
Does your school have ranks? I think ranks matter more over GPA because the GPA could be inflated, whereas ranks measure you among your peers.

If you're within the top 10% of your class and you apply ED, I would say ~50%

Since my school is so competitive, I am ranked in top 40%, though if you take my grades from the community colleges into account, I am at top 30%. Top 50% means u need a GPA of 3.6+. Other information:

I am getting a strong rec from my ENGR 10 teacher and APCS/Calculus Teacher (same teacher) if it matters.

I think you have an okay chance. your class rank could be a bit higher and EC's could be a bit better. I think your test scores are good enough.

its going to come down to your essay, so try super hard to shine your personality and why they should pick you! You're AP scores are great for math/science really good though
