Rate my chances to get admitted

Hi! This is my first post and I´m looking forward to your answers.

I´m currently 15 years old and would like to become investment banker somewhere in the US (New York would definitely be preferred). Therefore it is important to attend a great university like for example Harvard which is in my humble opinion the greatest of the greatest.

Please rate my chance to get admission to Harvard:

Academic Talent:
As I´m now beginning with the 11th grade in Germany (which would be the year before last at High Schools in the U.S.) it is impossible to tell you which marks I´ll have, but probably A or A- in all subjects except for sports and music where a B+ or B are realistic.

Extracurricular/perspectives formed by unusual personal circumstances
- I will have completed 6 internships each for one week in different market sectors and institutions (probably one at EU or NATO)
- one week voluntary help at the Red Cross
- (maybe!) member of a party
- fluent in four languages (German, Spanish, English, French)
- dual citizenship (Spanish and German) (shows multicultural background)
- lived in two foreign countries (Hungary and now Belgium) (proves that I managed to get clear with new cultures, especially in Hungary; gaining experience)
- I´ve visited more than 20 countries on three continents
- member of a golf club

Important: Please give reasons for your rating and some tips on how to improve my chances!

Thank you very much in advance.
