Are you from India?

Pretty qualified. Not sure how you will stack up against other qualified students though.

Your SAT scores look OK. You need to be more specific about your grades. You need to include all transcripts with your application.
Your ECs look fine at first look, but again your are not specific enough.

If you don’t name your state and district, they can’t credit you because they cannot fact check it. You do understand that there are people in admissions to verify everything in your applications.If you are from India, there will be people who are familiar with Indian schools.

After your wrote this, you still haven’t stated your instrument. What do you play?
You’ve performed since a beginner, but you haven’t won any competition.
Again, you need to be very specific and careful in what you put down.
I think it’s important to list your achievements rather than your participation unless it is on a state-wide(list your state) or national level.
