They’re practically identical with what you’ve listed: i.e. certainly academically qualified and viable. There is a minute difference in the ECs you’ve listed with perhaps the first candidate having more influence/leadership over his/her activities. But academically there is NO difference (val or no val is irrelevant here) – none whatsoever.

I would have to refer to their personal statements and teacher recs: no decision at this point.

Either or both can be accepted. Either or both can be rejected based upon who else is being considered.

If you’re looking for something definitive, it doesn’t exist. Since you’re trying to replicate an admissions scenario, have a listen here:
