Could I get into the University of Georgia or Mercer with these stats?

Out of my all my classes since freshman year I have taken 5 AP's and 5 Honors. I've made A's and B's throughout high school. I'm ranked 80 out of 392 kids in my graduating class so top 20% I think. I'm also a Hispanic student who has strived to do my best in school.
My extra curriculars are:
Sports: JV Soccer, recreational soccer
Recreational Swimming
JV tennis
JV cross country
Varsity soccer
Clubs/ other:
Beta club
HOSA
National honors Spanish society
Student government association-
Sophomore: member
Junior: junior class treasure
Senior: senior class treasurer
Orchestra since 6th grade. Played violin
Thespian Troupe
Drama Club
FCA
Spanish Club
Yearbook- sophomore: staff
Junior:business manager
Senior-business manager
Volunteer work: I've done 3 volunteer jobs with my church
And many community jobs with the clubs I'm involved in.
Leadership: I've gone to nation wide camps such as HOBY -Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership
Georgia Boys State and voted in state office as a commissioner
I was also a family leader at church camp
And have had a job since 9th grade working in a restaurant as well as a short internship at a dentist office.
Awards:
I have received many music achievement awards
Received letters for sports,music, and drama
Academic athletic awards
A/B honor rolls since middle school and up
And excellence in 2 of my AP classes and 3 of the Honors and other regular classes

My test scores for my ACT was a 19 junior year but a 21 senior year. I still have a chance to take the test again maybe twice and I'm going to take it again. I'm going for schools such as Mercer University, and the University of Georgia. Will I not be able to get in? Can my extracurriculars at least make up for some of my low scores? I am still a high school senior and have about maybe 1 or 2 chances to raise my score which I will retake. And I don't really feel that I will be able to make a 28 in time to apply for UGAs or Mercers standards. Could this possibility get me in or am I out of the runnings to get in?

What does that translate in terms of GPA?
