Did I just mess up?

Skip to the end if this is too long.

So, basically, I’m a sophomore in high school, and now that the year is coming to an end, I think I just completely messed up my GPA and chances in getting into the college that I want to go to.

Throughout my life, my brain could easily absorb academics, and I could get through really easily. This was the case until my last semester of sophomore year. I currently take the highest classes my school offers (4 APs (Chem, Gov, Lang, and Econ (first semester), and junior math). Freshman year and 1st semester I had a 3.720 weighted GPA, but now as the year is ending, I failed chemistry my second semester (which is fine because I already have 1.5 chem credits, and I only need 1 credit), and got a C in math. (I have As in my other classes with the 10 for AP and without for non AP), but this led to my GPA dropping to a 3.388 weighted.

I will be taking IB diploma for the next two years. Hypothetically speaking, if I get all A’s my next two years without the 10 points, do you think that I still have a chance to get into my school of choice? The school I want to get in is UGA. I know that I dug myself a hole, and it might be near impossible if not really hard to get out, but will I be able to manage it? Especially if I do take IB Diploma?

I’m sorry if this is too long, so the summary of the whole thing is, if I end sophomore year with a 3.388 weighted GPA, and somehow get all A’s junior and senior year, will I be able to get into UGA? And, what would my ending GPA be weighted if I do happen to do really well my last two years? (I’m taking 4 IB HL classes as well as an AP and Orchestra next year.)
