That many quality extracurriculars as a 10th grader, I think you are definitely on the right track, keep up the awesome work! I'm not personally familiar with international admissions, but I believe chances are just about the same. I'd mainly compare your admissions "portfolio" to the average prospective student for the schools you are applying to.

You're doing amazing! I would get some more community service hours and then your college resume will be insane.

Take the sat as a foreign student and send those scores in, I don’t know if you can use CA as a foreign student but if you can that would be the best way to go
