US APPLICATION- Should i apply as a Uk student?

Hi,
I need some advice and hope some people reply.

context/stats
I am a y13 student who studies Bio,chem maths and spanish and am predicted 4A* plus an EPQ. I got 11x9s at GCSE. I am a rower and have one a few national
medals.

I have school leadership positions and do extracurriculars.

But I haven’t won any international comps nor have I created a non-profit which seems quite common in those tiktok application videos.

My question is ( sorry for the long background):

Is it worth applying to a few IVYs on top of my UK applications to cambdridge or is it unlikely that I will get in.

In year 12 I wanted to apply but I stopped considering it as my school doesn’t specialise in it and i felt like US applications were so competitive.

I also haven’t wrote any essays yet and don’t know whether i should take the risk and apply to a few.

Does anyone have advise?
