What are my odds:

I had a pretty shitty hs gpa with a 1450 SAT

I want to go into Finance and will be going to Lehigh in the fall of 2026 and hope to transfer by fall of 2027

here are my ecs:

Finance role at a firm analyzing client financial profiles and supporting long-term planning strategies
Nonprofit internship: contributed to large fundraising campaigns, tracked engagement data, assisted with events and budgeting
Resale venture: generated revenue through online/in-person sales, managed transactions, optimized pricing and inventory
Financial literacy initiative: created and led workshops teaching budgeting, saving, and entrepreneurship concepts
Tech project: built and scaled a platform used by hundreds, using data to improve engagement and user experience

and then a lot of random high school clubs

If i get a 4.0 in college what are my odds of applying to T20 schools: NYU, USC, UM, MIT, etc.

Please offer some advice
