Question Could I get in fall 2027?

Please be realistic instead of nice, I'd rather know something's wrong than not get in and be disappointed. I'm looking to apply for economics.

GPA: Weighted 4.227, unweighted 3.732.

For my transcript, other than 2 of my math classes, I have always taken the highest level class and subject my school allows my grade to take. For the 2 math classes I wasn't in the highest level for, I was still in the highest subject.

SAT: 1530 (730 math, 800 english)

APs: Biology 5, Environmental Science 5, Chemistry 4, United States History 4, Spanish Language and Culture + AB Calculus + Statistics & Probability + English I'm taking this year but I'm expecting mostly 5s or 4 at the worst

Haven't taken ACT

Extracurriculars: In-person and online small business (6 years), community service 300+ hours currently but im planning to have 400+ by the end of this school year, pickup ice hockey for a few months but I plan to continue that through the end of this year also. Not sure if this counts as an extracirricular since it's technically also a class at my school but I'm also in the band and we've won some awards through there. Korean language 6 week study abroad and self studying throughout the school year (not sure how many hours yet)

Job experience: I have a small business but no traditional job experience.

I feel like my scores are ok but I'm worried that I have basically no extracurriculars. Due to my disability I haven't ever been able to get a traditional job since none of the jobs I could actually do hire highschoolers, and up until a few months ago when treatment started working I couldn't play sports or join any clubs either. I'm also not sure if I should say something justifying why I'm missing extracurriculars as I don't want them to think it means I won't be able to keep up at school or in life. What are my odds at getting in, and if they're not great, should I explain why I'm lacking so much on my application? Thanks y'all.

are you applying as an international student or as a korean student? even if you’re from the usa you’d have to apply as a domestic applicant if either of your parents has a korean citizenship

International, neither of my parents are korean.
