-extra: i have always been an entrepreneur and i started my first business when i was 12; selling bows that i made on my online shop.
sorry, but it’s really hard to chance anyone who hasn’t taken their SATs yet. They’re too big a factor in admissions. If you really want people to chance you though, you should at least post your predicted score.
However, while about half of those colleges are matches for you (based on gpa), a 3.79 simply isn’t enough for Ivy Leagues, UNC, and UVA (if OOS for UNC and UVA- otherwise those are matches too). If you can balance that out with a 2200+ SAT though, you have at least a decent shot at all of the schools (except maybe the Ivy Leagues)
