It feels weird to have like a 96% English Score and like 710 SAT score though.

Do you mean it feels strange SAT scores work like that? Because 710 EBRW is around 94th percentile, and 1470 Composite is around 96th.

Of course I understand US admissions from India can be extremely competitive, depending where you apply. But I suspect if you end up not quite what some such US college is looking for, it won’t be because of your SAT score. And if you are otherwise what they are looking for, likely your SAT score will be good enough not to hold you back, and again might actually be helpful.
