Good EC's (I'm an Entrepreneur) but a 3.7 UW GPA. Can I get into an Ivy League?

Hey, hope all is well.

I’ve been doing some thinking about college since I’m a junior (11th grade). Ideally, I’d like to go to an ivy league school, or, at least, a prestigious high school. My GPA is definitely not impressive, as its a 3.7 / 4.0. I have about 5 AP Classes under by belt so far, including AP Chemistry. My weighted GPA is 4.2 but my school considers honors and AP’s as same weight. BUT…

My extracurriculars are very strong. I am an entrepreneur, and I currently run a fairly successful online tech B2B business/startup that I’ve founded last year as a sole proprietorship. I won’t disclose how much income I make, but the business is growing and last month I’ve made enough to consider not going to college at all. But I decided to go to college, anyway. I need a backup field or major just in case my entrepreneurial dreams fail (which will most likely happen tbh).

Furthermore, (less impressive) I am an instructor at a martial arts studio and have been practicing traditional martial arts for about 10 years now. I also speak four languages fluently (Russian, Farsi, English, French).

So based on these general specs, what’s my chance that an Ivy League would accept me? I plan on studying a lot for the SAT and the ACT that I’m planning to take in the spring of 2016.

Would love some feedback. Thanks!

Amazing test scores might get you a look. But just your ECs and current GPA, I doubt the top few would be achievable. Next tier down maybe. No telling without test scores. Your EC isn’t really a hook.

Thanks for the reply! Do test scores really play such a large influence if the scores are great? The SAT that I’ll take will be the redesigned 2016 SAT, so I’m also taking the ACT just in case.
