How Bad is a Bad SAT Score?

I am a current Junior so I have yet to take the Sat (I am soon) but am basing this off my PSAT score. Believe me with my current scores I am well aware of the fact that I am not going to get into UVA ( it says I am in the 76th percentile) which is why I’m extremely nervous and anxious. I swear I am a good kid and student and I’m well aware of students who don’t care about their education or class but who got way higher than me. I understand life isn’t fair but now I’m worried that I’m out of any at least esteemed options and have to bank on the fact I’m from Virginia which is pretty well received academically. I also have to bank on the fact that I have around a 3.9 GP, so hopefully some colleges pay more attention to that then test scores. I’m not so concerned with getting into UVA per se, it was just an example of the level or tier I always thought I’d be going to. Maybe I’m worried for nothing. My parents agreed I should enroll in a test prep course but I’m worried it won’t be enough.
