Very worried about college

For Georgetown SFS you should stick with Spanish senior year, even if you take a Spanish class over the summer. Also for Georgetown admissions you should have 3 subject tests with scores of 700+ in order to put together the most competitive application you can. https://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/firstyear/preparation

If you want DC, obviously consider George Washington U and American U as well. You need to demonstrate interest for American, so make sure you sign up for emails, go to local rep sessions, meet with rep at your school, visit the school if possible. Of course it makes sense to do all these things for any school on your list, but American values demonstrated interest highly.

Georgetown does not give out much merit aid, only $200K on the last CDS, see Table H1 https://georgetown.app.box.com/s/3azkfk30zxabxqccj0osp0lrhhy2p1s9

Generally merit aid comes from schools that aren’t a reach, one where the candidate is in the top 25% of GPA, test scores and other factors such as ECs.
