I do not understand this argument.
You say you’re a shoo-in, other people aren’t so sure.
So apply. Apply only to those US universities that are famous enough for your tastes.
And come back next spring to let us know which schools you’ve gotten into.
What’s the point in arguing? In fact, what’s the point in the whole thread?? You seemed pretty convinced from the beginning that the Ivies would be knocking down your door to get you enrolled. You said you liked Princeton, and insist, time and again, that they’ll accept you.
So apply. You’re right, the numbers are wrong, you’ll get in.

Yes, I know it’s several years old. But it still makes the same point as many people on this thread.
And you still owe @Sue22 that apology. Kudos to her for her class.
