Am I on track for Wharton?

Am I on track for Wharton? What do I need to improve on? Thank you for helping me out!

I am currently a sophomore in an IL public high school
Course Taken (Reg, Honors, AP)
GPA: Unweighted: 4.0. Weighted: 4.2
Reg Biology:A-
Business Exploration:A
Reg English: A-
Honors Geometry:A-
Spanish 1:A-(one year lower than what average classmates take, because I was in ESL in 7th grade so didn't take a world language)
-------------------------------------------
GPA: Unweighted: most likely a 4.0 Weighted: most likely a 4.7
Reg Chemistry: A
Financial Accounting:A+
Honors English: A-
Honors Algebra2: A-
Spanish 2: A
AP World History:A
---------------------------------------------
E.C's
Freshman Year
Nothing (Will this hurt my chance?)
(Fresh-Soph Summer)
A class assistant at a SAT prep program in Taiwan(Graded scantrons manually and help students on problems that they are struggling with ) (Paid)
Sophmore Year
Business Professionals of America
Young Entrepreneur Academy(A program that helps students start their own business)
Will do tons of community service through out the school year.
----------------------------------------------
Advantages: Ability to read,write, and speak in Chinese. Fluent in Taiwanese(Taiwanese is more of a dialect, so you can't really write it)
Disadvantages: Not taking the hardest classes available(Spanish,Science), Little and weak E.C's

Is spending the first 12 years of my life outside of U.S an advantage? (Not sure)

you're a sophomore, don't think about college while you still can. Cause when you're in junior/senior year that's all you'll be thinking about..

Try to keep your grades up and study for the SATs. Be sure to have enough extra curriculars and community service too. Also, if you have an interview, be sure to nail it and try to get amazing recommondations!
