Well, I think a lot of it depends on your actual grades. If you input your stats into some of these sites you will be able to see how others with your SAT scores and GPA on your basis did.
While many students have a top GPA many schools have many students with very high GPAs. Schools with more GPA variance might be assessed differently. Not every school has grade inflation and colleges know this.
Also, your SAT put you in the top 1% and may even put you into a higher category. That will help you. So will female in STEM with internatl/natl awards.
So kids are more lopsided than others. They have near perfect grades in STEM, for example and lower grades in everything else. If they are pursuing STEM it might reflect a bit differently. But you do need to have the baseline grades to pass thru.
Get data from your CG and ask questions.
