As others have said, with a 3.6 you are aiming too high. It’s seems like you’ve spent too much time on ECs and not on schoolwork. When colleges look at applications they look at GPA first, some consider test scores and some won’t, then after those two hurdles are passed, some will look at ECs. Unless your ECs rise to the level of being a hook (star football player for example) they are just icing. You need to look for schools where a 3.6 is reasonable.
