Your stats sound pretty good for these schools although try retaking the sat if you can as it will give you a slight advantage and remember just list your percentage you should not convert it to a 4 point scale GPA as no college will ever do that and you’re jus gonna go wrong.
Your extracurriculars have room for improvement as you should have some national or international recognition and conduct and publish some research on economics in a top tier journal or magazine. Also has you have taken many EdX courses that’s a good thing but I see you took the Ap macro and micro course so why not self study for the Ap exam as well I’m sure their offered in many cities across India and you can get more information regarding this at College boards website. Also try starting a business or a business/finance/entrepreneurship club that may also help jus do something to set you apart from the crowd as the competition is very tough for internationals students. You also need 100% financial need which makes it even more difficult only Harvard and Amherst in your list are need blind which means you won’t be at a disadvantage for asking aid. Also try looking for some schools that offer merit scholarships like Cornell duke Chicago Emory etc don’t forget do do your research and their are tons of information online also check out collegevine to get a better estimate of your chances and good luck.
