Chances?

Hi! I'm an internatinal student wanting to attend to one of the Top10 Universities (MIT, Harvard, UChicago, Princeton, Caltech...). TOEFL score of 100. SAT score is like this - 750M, 700W, 600CR. SAT subject tests - MATH2 760, BIOLOGY 780. International biology olympiad bronze medalist. Have I any significant chances?

One big, prestigious EC (international biology olympiad bronze medalist) is not enough to make your status better than "reach"...

Why does everyone think they need to cure cancer to be accepted to iv leagues or any of the to schools. Biology Olympiad is impressive no matter what anyone says

What's keeping that student from having even a "high match" status is not how prestigious his main EC is, but his rather low CR score.

Thanks you both for answers! @Catria, don't you think they'll take into consideration that the SAT is designed for native-speakers and that English is my 2nd language?
And besides, what would you suggest in order to elevate my chances?
