Statistically, a 5’9 male would fare better - because as you know, height is the statistic weighted most importantly on your app - more than GPA!!! So start doing pull ups and stretch your body.
Normally, your rank would leave you on the outside looking in but because you go to a private school - that’s where you should start your chance me. They know where kids like you get in whereas we don’t.
I don’t think awards make you more competitive. I think what you do to win the award does. In other words, you win the downhill skiing gold medal - is great - but what it’s really saying is you were the fastest amongst hundreds of skiiers and fastest in the world.
ED helps at schools that fill over half their class…but make sure you can afford the school you ED and make sure you have visited. Penn is urban. Dartmouth is 100% opposite. You will be somewhere four years - day after day. That matters. And if you get into UT - well if you got in Dartmouth, you couldn’t go if you ED’d.
And yes, I think you’re overreaching - but you say you have safeties.
SMU would be a good choice - it does well in IB. Arizona State has the IBIS program. And then there’s Indiana Kelley - if you love a large b school - it’s top 10 and your stats make you auto admit - so zero risk.
But hear from your counselor.
PS - where is your foreign language?
Good luck.
