Since you have been learning Chinese at your school, you have no “situation” that needs to be understood.

I’m not an ancient Roman, and I managed a 780 on the Latin exam >_>

Your Chinese just isn’t excellent, that’s all.

Admissions officers won’t necessarily FAVOR you over Chinese applicants, since Indians are also an ignored minority, but they’ll certainly acknowledge the fact that it’s not your native language, and it’s the one that you’ve been studying over your high school career.

And, you feel pressured to gain admission to “Ivy League” schools simply because they are assumed to be good.
