Dude that’s not bad at all. While I won’t deny that they could be better, you have done some serious extracurriculars, and I have seen much worse. While I’d say UCLA and USC are definitely high reach schools, Drexel and Temple seem to be a good to high match. Show your improvement, do the best you possibly can on your SATs and gpa next year. If advanced science and math grades are a problem, then take the regular versions. What’s most important is having a schedule that fits for you.

Remember there are THOUSANDS, of colleges out there. Not all are the hyper selective colleges you hear about on CC. Look into some good colleges in your local area, some may even offer you scholarships. Community College could also be a cheaper option as you build up your grades for a transfer to another school. Look into your options and visit some colleges, you might be pleasantly surprised with some of them.
