You said class of 2013 – are you a transfer student? Also, do you need financial aid? That makes a difference.

@Pheebers I completed my O Levels in 2013 (that’s roughly equal to grades nine and ten). I am on my first gap year right now. And no, I do not need financial aid.

Well, you never know, but As help of course, as do ECs. Also, your chances are better if you aren’t applying for FA. As an international student, you may be able to demonstrate interest by interviewing/speaking with people over Skype. I’ve seen a lot of colleges offer this.

Asian isn’t usually considered a URM – not sure if you had another that you just weren’t mentioning.
