OOS Chances!!! Will chance back!!!

Hey guys, I am currently a junior attending Fordham Prep. I really want to attend UVA as it is my dream school. Neither of my parents have gone there but I've visited and really loved the school. However, I am not sure If i will be able to get in. My dad's buisness partner went to UVA and was their first mascot and has donated a million+ dollars. I don't know if this will have a large effect but my dad said he will ask him if he can mention my name to admissions.
Right now I attend Fordham Prep which is a very competitive high school. Our school does not give GPA's or student rankings. If someone would be willing to give me my GPA it would be greatly appreciated.

SAT: PROJECTED 2000
For my SAT I do not think that I will do outstandingly well. On my PSAT for junior year I only recieved a 156. However, I now have a English tutor 2 days a week and a math tutor 1 day of the week. Im hopping to aquaire a 2000 on my SAT.

I also have a somewhat large connection. My dads buisness partner is a BIG doanor(has donnated over 1million) who I hope will call the admissions office or put in a good word for me. However will this make that much of a differnce?
