The truth is your GPA is going to be blended in with every other 3.9-4.3 student.

Your EC’s are normal for ivy (student government, volunteer work, etc. etc.).

As for the book, I knew a few people that put down they were writing a book on their application (accepted or otherwise). Until your pages hit a major publishing house I wouldn’t expect the adcom to take that seriously.

Besides all of that, the most important complimentary aspect of a student is confidence not arrogance. Work on the arrogance and your application will have a chance.
