Am I really that far off?

When I visited the University of Pittsburgh, I was in awe of the overall campus and academic life. It is my current dream school. The problem is I dont know how close or far I am in getting accepted. My GPA is 3.17( out of 4) which in my opinion is pretty low compared to other students. My SAT score is 1730(2nd time) I wanted to take it again but I am on vacation on the day of the test out of country. Some of the positives are that have been taking challanging courses since freshmen year of highschool. My lowest level class was a Gifted-High-Potential Class. I mostly take Honors and AP courses. This Senior year I am taking AP English, Ap Calc AB, AP Physics C along with 2 project lead the way courses in Biotechnology and Aerospace Engineering. My clubs and activities consist of Red Cross Club and Engineering Club for a number of years. Realistically, after looking at all that, I still don’t think I will get accepted to UPitt. What do you guys think? What are your opinions? If there was a campus like Pitt, what would you suggest? PS: I like the cheapness of the school as I live in PA, so please take that into consideration.
