what u've accomplished is just about ur education, but u don't seem to be well rounded enough. college ppl dont just look at whether or not u have perfect grades and stuff, they look at ur character, athletics, social ability, clubs u've joined, and etc [all-rounded-ness]. Just bcuz ur smart doesn't necessarily mean they'll accept u

The book is probably the one that will help the most. The most elite schools look for, granted academic achievement, but more importantly, innovation and initiative.
Hate to break it to you, but probably 70% of the applicants have 4.0 GPAs, near perfect/perfect SATs, and 5's on 7 or more AP exams. Getting below 5's on multiple AP exam probably will count against you. Remember, the Harvard acceptance rate is only 10%.

I'm not sure if the book helps, but everything else seems good. Just make sure you also have extracurricular stuff that you did..they look at that too.

Nothing's guaranteed but if you're being honest (which I'm skeptical of) you have a good shot.

Dunno, but find someone to proofread your application.
