Which one is harder to get into?

Which one am I more likely to get into given:
demographics
*I am an Asian Indian Male
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon, Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school.
*student body at school = 500+

The Numbers/ECs
*SAT score: currently on my third practice test I have a 1900 (680 math, 590 Writing, 630 reading). Although I improved by 200 points from my first one, it seems to me that I might be stuck within the 1900-2000 range, which is terrible considering I want to get in OOS. So do I still have a chance considering that I’ll probably get around a 1950-2050 at most? I’m gunning for a 2100 in case you care
*ACT Score: According to my PLAN results, I can expect around 26-30. I’m guessing I can get 28.
*Freshman year:
4.0 with honors in 2 classes for both semesters

*Sophomore Year:
3.8125 overall for both semesters
Bs in AP Chem 1st sem, Precalc 2nd sem, Social Studies 1st sem

*Junior Year (projected)
Human Anat/Phys-A,A
IB Bio HL 1-A,A
Spanish 3-A,A
IB Calculus-A, B
IB Psychology-A,A
Team Sports-A
IB English-B,B (might get 1 “A”)
IB Tok 1-B

*I’m not sure if this counts towards legacy, but my dad’s cousin’s wife was a professor at berkeley, so would that help?
*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
*IB Diploma Candidate (to be) (berkeley accepts 50% of IB candidates, just as an FYI)
*Varsity tennis 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Team 4 years (will have 4)
*World Quest Trivia 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Club Treasurer (1 year)
*Science Club VP (2 years)
*Math Club VP (2 years)
*Portland Youth Philharmonic (3 years)
*Mathfest Algebra 2 1st place freshman year
*OIMT Participant Fresh Year
*Mathfest Participant sophomore year
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 175-200 volunteer hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*2nd Chair in Portland Youth Conservatory Orchestra
