That is really an outstanding SAT score and many international schools do not escalate grades so everyone gets an A in every class. In addition, you mention that many awards are national or international ( that is excellent). I would imagine your daughter is a good candidate. If she’s in the top 15%, I’d say she should apply. Ask the school guidance counselor also to get a sense of what top students have as their GPA. Not every school has kids with 4.5 GPA’s.
Also, if she’s taken the top level courses that can help too.
