I'm gonna say you're good. You fit the same profile as lots of girls.

gpa is low so scholarship might be iffy but you’ll get in, at the worst you’d get in for the spring

3.0 weighted or unweighted GPA? unless your extracurriculars are standout i think you're borderline. apply ED if you really want it

3.0 out of what? A 4? A 4.5? A 5? None of us can really tell you since we don't know if your prep school is actually a super well ranked school or some easy private school that looks good but isn't as rigorous as the public school next door. ACT is not bad, but again, it's one thing out of many.

Also, if you do go to SMU and want to rush, which I assume you do since you're on Greek rank, get good grades for recruitment. Houses have minimum cutoffs and release due to grades. Stay active on campus obviously but put your school work first.
