Chances? pleasee :)

I'm a junior and I live in Virginia. My high school is very competitive and has been ranked 127th in America recently.
I've taken the most rigorous courses possible (except regular math this year) all three years. All honors freshman year, all honors+AP world history sophomore year, and honors physics+ AP psychology, AP us history, and AP language/comp this year. My gpa at the end of my sophomore year was a 3.7, which i know is really low. This year my goal is a 4.3 and my goal for my overall gpa is a 4.0.
Extracurriculars: I've played volleyball for my school all three years and was on varsity this year, I hope to continue on varsity next year. I've played club (basically regional travel) all three years as well. I've co-coached an elementary school volleyball team, worked as a volleyball referee (a paying job), and co-coached at volleyball academy clinics for middle schoolers. I plan on working as a referee again this year, and continuing to co-coach. My freshman year I placed third in one category and got an honorable mention in another category in my town's photography contest. Also freshman year I was the section leader and a soloist in my orchestra (I've played in the orchestra every year and am planning on continuing). I'm an officer of French club, am in Amnesty, and I'm in the Smile Train club. Sophomore year I did Envirothon. I've been in junior and senior math league, and this year I'm in National and History honor society. My freshman and sophomore years I did Relay for Life, and my freshman year I volunteered at the crop walk. I've been in/will continue to be in Junior and Senior math league.
Please let me know where I stand and what I can improve on! Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to answer
