You have good chances - being a girl in CS is a plus (CMU is one of the big univ which tries to to be 50-50 in gender balance - while the competition among girls is equally fierce, there is advantage)

One advice; you mentioned about writing a “book” on data structures:

Writing a book on advanced data structure (to be issued around December)

Is it an article or a book? - if it’s an article say so; if it’s a book - is it published by a publishing house or is it a collection of your writings in an e-book?

If its latter (an e-book) don’t bother to mention it. For someone as young as you and with limited experience - can almost guarantee that claiming of writing “data structures” book sounds over the-top exaggeration. You have fantastic credentials otherwise - but writing a book in a theoretical field like data structures is a different ball game (when AO’s see things like this there is a danger that you are just rehashing a few notes together and claiming big - it can even take the shine off of your other excellent provable accomplishments). I would be careful.
