Where can I go to college?

Hey guys, I’m a bit nervous about college. I was severely depressed in both ninth and tenth grade (I mean, I still am, but it has lessened) to the point where it affected my work. I failed two classes in tenth grade. And just regular classes too. My average managed to stay at like an 86, though. I had one AP class in tenth grade, and I got a four on the test.

So, assuming I get 4.0 for both eleventh and twelfth grade (which I will):

Final UW GPA: 3.6-3.7
Final W GPA: 4.1-4.2
SAT Score: Haven’t taken it yet
Extracurriculars: Speech and Debate team, school newspaper, piano, school choir, church choir, ballroom dancing lessons
Volunteer work: Volunteered for a local man running for Congress, also did this thing to raise money for starving folks, run the cameras at my church

As you can see, I think it’s up to my SAT score. Say I get a 2100. What doors would that open? Say I get a 2200. What doors would that open?

Help. I’m not going to use my depression and stuff as an excuse (although I do have official documents stating I have social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Mood Disorder NOS, I was on medication for a LONG time, and was in the hospital twice for attempted suicide. I also have an eating disorder) unless I absolutely have to. I guess I should tell them, so it will explain my failings. I’m taking a college course right now in polisci, so maybe if I do great in there it will help…?
