Where do I find the average scores (SAT, GPA, IELTS) of intl students who got admitted to China/Hong Kong/Korea on full-ride in bachelor's?

Hi everyone, I’m 16 years old, from Kazakhstan, moving to 11th grade in September 2026, and graduating from high school in May 2027. I want to apply to universities in China, Hong Kong, and South Korea for the Fall 2027 intake. I am from a public school, my GPA is 5.0/5.0 for 8th, 9th, and 10th grades, SAT 1530, and around 7.5 IELTS. I also placed 2nd and 3rd in the district chemistry olympiad, 2nd in the district law olympiad, and 2nd in a district debate tournament. I ran a debate club at my school for 3 years, as well as a free online SAT prep club for 2 months with 50 participants. Additionally, I have an Honorable mention for Excellence in Perspective in the National Essay Competition dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and lastly, I volunteered for 2 months helping to collect humanitarian aid during the floods in my country. I want to major in biomedical engineering / mechatronics or engineering in general on a full-ride. My current college list:

HKUST - Early Round November 20, Full Tuition + $60,000 HKD (Bioengineering in engl)

CUHK - Early Round November 13, Full Tuition + $66,000 HKD (biomed in engl)

EduHK - Early Round November 17, Full Ride (no engineering)

HKU - Full Ride, First Round November 26 (biomedical)

CityU - Full Tuition + $66,000 HKD, Early Round November 15 (biomedical)

PolyU - Full Tuition + $60,000 HKD, Early Round November 19 (biomed)

HKBU - Full Tuition + $52,500 HKD, Early Round November 16 (no engineering)

Zhejiang University - Full Ride, December 1–February 28 (CSC-A) (biomed)

SJTU - Full Ride, December 8 – February 5 (no biomed)

KAIST - Full Ride, Early Round - October 22 (bio&brain eng)

DGIST - Full Ride, February 3 (interdisciplinary smthng idk but no biomed)

GIST - Full Ride, April 8 (also no biomed)

UNIST - Full Ride, January 23 (biomed)

Beijing Institute of Technology - Full Ride, February 15 (no biomed, mechatronics)

How can I figure out which of these universities are reach/target/safety, and how can I assess my chances of getting a full-ride? ** Also, does anyone know the average SAT, GPA, IELTS, etc., scores of international students who applied for undergraduate studies in these majors taught in English and received a full-ride? **

I know my profile is a bit weak, but I am ready to improve it before application deadlines and would welcome any advice.
