What happens if you’re an Asian that:

-Knows English, it’s your first language
-Very good at writing
-Gotten a lot of high percentiles for standardized tests
-US Citizen
-Lived in America for a longgg time
-Interested in sports like b-ball, soccer, and x-country
-Go to a prep school
-Not in science/math clubs, but more like community service, knowledge masters (mini brain bowl, pretty much), sports, and writing-related things.

I understand that thanks to the fact I go to a prep school & know English well helps me, but alongside all of these other things, is it more likely for me to get in than other int’l students? Any comments, thanks (:
