I don’t know what sort of advice you want - but I’ll give it a shot.


You need to get that GPA up, obviously. Luckily, you have time. That GPA needs to get to an unweighted 3.7 or so by your junior year, so you need roughly a 3.9 or better every semester from here on.
It’s good that you’re taking AP and honors courses. Keep taking them and make sure that you have at least AP Calc A/B and an AP science course on your transcript.
Founding a club is good, but you need a few more activities. A libertarian club and a service club isn’t enough. Try to add a sport. Even if you are not an athletic person, there should be a club sport that you can play competitively.
Make sure you have an SAT score over 700 Math / 670 CR. If your GPA isn’t going to be in the 3.7 UW range, you’ll want the SAT score higher to compensate.
