So, what are my chances?

I’m a Junior in High School in the United States and I’m pretty stressed out because of my grades. I just want an answer so I don’t have to have frequent panic attacks over the impending future.

YES, I know I’m not a Senior yet, but still! Hear me out, my question is at the end of my long “resume”.

Disclaimer: I’m a Canadian in a US High School

My grades: 3.0 UW 3.4 W

APs: World History: 3, European History: 5, French (taking this year), Language (taking this year), US History (taking this year), and probably 3 more senior year [yes, I know how some are unnecessary]

Volunteer? If it matters, I have about 300 hours educating little kids at Kumon (Math and Reading center)

Sports: 1 year JV tennis (was on the top), 1 year Varsity tennis (should be 3 by the end of high school) side note: might make state this year or senior year

ACT: 30

Class Difficulty: Mostly Honors (8 classes so far) AP classes (4 classes) or regular (2)
[not that it matters, but I come from a tough high school where averages are high and classes are tougher]

I’m projected to finish high school with As and Bs. I started freshman year terribly and have improved each year, so I plan to explain some of that. My history teacher said colleges look for improvement, so what is my likelihood of University of Michigan, Wisconsin, or North Carolina, and how can I improve those chances?

(sorry for the doozie, and if you want, you could add a bit of encouragement for me? )
