I am from an northern middle African country ,I follow the IGCSE/IAL High School system where we only have 3 years of high school , anyhow , i didn’t have much of Extracurriculars in G10 only starting programming and not progressing much but however at the start of g11 i started taking up programming seriously i started a game project that i think i will publish to steam and play store and IOS store soon , also working on another project of a multiplayer game , and i have an internship in a tech development company which is very rare for a high school student to get in my country , and i also started a research in statistics with some well know Professor in a university in my country , however bearing in mind that most of these stuff wasn’t available for me in G10 will doing all of them at once render it obviously for the admission office that im just stacking up my resume with activities before the admission ?
i am aiming to apply for a variety of universities but in this post i am being specific to ask about my chances in MIT/Yale/Princeton/Harvard/Rice
Thanks.

What you’ve accomplished strikes me as very impressive; most of the time when people are stacking up their resume, it is with miscellaneous clubs and activities they have no clear interest in. Use the essays as an opportunity to show the admissions officers how passionate you are about programming. Obviously, it’s always kind of impossible to know whether someone will be accepted to elite schools or not, but I think if you are as impressive academically as you are outside of school, you have a solid chance.
What marks have you received in your High School classes? Have you taken the SAT and/or the ACT? Have you taken SAT subject tests? Have you taken the TOEFL? What were your scores? Without any specifics, there is no way for anyone to have the slightest ideas as to your chances. With that being said, unless your stats put you at the absolute top of the HS students from your country, you will have very little chance at the first four schools you mentioned.
regarding my high school classes I have been the top in my school in biology ,chemistry , Maths, and obviously computer science my grade are all A* except for nglish as its my weakest point i have an A
I have taken A level Mathematics A* in that
A level further pure mathematics i dont have this one’s grades yet
A level physics not yet too
A level Computer science
However regarding the last three grades i will have the grades of the AS(the first half of the curriculum ny august)
regarding what i already have i have
Biology A* , chemistry A* , Mathematics OL A* , English A . Physics OL A*
and Mathematics AL A*
regarding the SAT my first go was in may i got a 790/800 in maths but my weak english failed me and i got a 650 in reading and writing 
. however i am planning to resit it and also try the ACT and i am yet to take the sat subjects but i think i am expecting some 800s in maths and physics as the syllabus is relatively easy .
And by the way i have worked with my Mathematics teacher as soon as i finished My Alevel Maths( a 2 year course , which i finished in 1 year ) as an assistant teacher (paid job) all my grade 11 and planning to continue doing that in grade 12 , however , as some students thought that i was good at this i got some calls for private tutoring for some of them before their finals , but i dont know if i should mention the last part .
