Your test scores are low for GWU, but it appears they are a test optional college. That means you can apply without submitting your scores. Check out their website. In the
Admissions pages there is some information about applying as a homeschooler.

gmu doesn't require an sat score with a gpa above 3.8

i don't know much about home schooling, but i want to know how you have a gpa if you are home schooled?

It depends. Sometimes homeschoolers don't do grades at all, but in cases where they offer a GPA...

Sometimes students and/or parents make an assessment about grades. Sometimes the GPA is calculated from grades they received in online classes, college classes, and some can take selected high school classes where they live. Some derive a grade for a certain subject based on AP or SAT subject tests. It really varies.

Once you have the grades (in whatever way you got them) you calculate a GPA just like anyone else would.

It seems like the GPA is hugely inflated. Typically speaking someone with a 3.8 gpa, should be able to obtain atleast a 1500 on the SATs.

At most all colleges, admissions officers rely heavily on standardized test scores to validate the GPA. So I have to agree with the above poster that GPA sounds very inflated. Unless all of your courses of dual enrollment or something like that you have a low chance if you submit your current SAT scores or don't submit any scores at all.
