As a junior, I want to know if I’m on the right track. I know I need to retake the ACT and take the SAT’s but is there any other flaws?

School: Public/ URM- 6 blacks in my school at most.
GPA:
9th- 3.9 UW
10th- 4.0 UW
11th- 3.5 UW for 1st quarter
(I know 3.5 is bad but 2nd quarter I’ve been acing so I’m expecting at least a 3.8 by the end of the year plus IB weighting)
