Chance me and my abnormal situation

Hi I am an international student applying for fall 2021. As the decisions start to come out, I got really worried that I might not get into any college I wanted, since my situation is really different from most of the students. Here are my stats.

Korean female, international, no Financial Aid needed

Have no GPA because I dropped out of high school in 11th grade, but until then it was 3.8 UW average (out of 4.0), competitive Korean high school (if that means anything-the students here rarely go to US colleges)

No AP/DE because my school did not offer them (so Weighted GPA N/A)

No ranks

Took Korean GED and got an average of 95 out of 100 (I’ve checked and am only applying to the universities that accept international GED students)

1500 SAT (700 English, 800 Math, took once)

105 TOEFL (took once)

Student Activities Director, Student Council

Founder/President Math Club

created a statistics database website in Statistics Club

After dropping out, worked part-time as an Academic Instructor and as a barista at a local cafe

Volunteer translating Korean books to English and sent them to the underprivileged students around the world (ever since I was in 6th grade)

Sports Captain in high school

LOR’s from teachers I know quite well

So the schools I have applied to are:
Early Action: GTech, UIUC, UGA(deferred)
Regular Decision: UT Austin, Penn State, Boston College, UVA, UMass Amherst, Purdue, Clemson, Ohio State

I am applying to Mathematics major for all of them.

Can anyone tell me what they think my chances are to these schools? I am worried because of my obvious lack of GPA and a high school diploma. Plus, this whole COVID thing made University admissions really unpredictable. Should I apply to more safety schools? I would really appreciate any kind of thoughts on my situation. Thank you.
