With all of that out of the way...

Sounds like you have a good plan. But I would also seriously consider military aviation, preferably Air National Guard/USAF Reserve. If you you are open to committing to some serious dedication, military aviation experience is very career enhancing and will save you a bunch of money too.

Being Chinese-American will not hurt, and may help vis-a-vis affirmative action, although you need to be a US citizen to get commissioned as a military officer (all US military pilots are officers). Being non-Caucasian will almost certainly help with selection for any military officer program.
