Chance me for UGA in state

Hi I’m currently a junior with a 4.0 gpa, hoping to get it up to atleast 4.1 overall by start of senior year. I haven’t taken the SAT yet and my extracurriculars are pretty mid with being a competitive member of tsa since 9th grade, competitive member of FBLA and deca 11th and probably 12th grade. I don’t have leadership positions in any of these however and I won 4th place in state for video game design in tsa 9th grade. I also have a part time job as a flag football referee I’m also from Forsyth which I heard is more competitive than rest of the counties in Georgia. What should I do to increase my chances? Also chance me for Purdue (out of state)

I’m currently @ Stanford for STEM and was admitted to multiple other ivies!

So I just wanted to give back, PM chance me if you wanted any input or guesses or advice, I’m more than happy to help! Just beware I might not be immediately responsive b/c finals season 😅😅

Good luck!
