Your ACT score will most likely increase by the end of junior year. I would brush up on getting those leadership positions, extracurriculars, and awards. I personally think that your current GPA might be a little low, so try to get that up.

@Coloradomama said that Purdue is the same level as Georgia Tech. Although I also think that looking at other schools is important, I do not agree with the fact that Purdue is similar to Georgia Tech. Purdue is known for its aerospace engineering (more similar to Ohio State University). Georgia Tech is known for its biomedical engineering and industrial engineering (more similar to University of Michigan). Looking at 2018 US news ranking for undergraduate engineering (which you should not look into as much), Georgia Tech is tied for fourth and Purdue is tied for eighth.

I recommend looking at schools all over the country: UC schools, UMich, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Caltech, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, University of Illinois, IVY, Wisconsin, etc.
