When is it too late to apply to Pitt?

Drake would be a solid choice though, especially if you have a full ride.
SUNY Buffalo if you can get into Honors, same thing.
Apply to Honors immediately if you haven’t done so in the past couple days.

(It’s not as important at Drake but here’s the link
Honors Program | Drake University )

LACs have smaller, interactive classes (very few large lecture halls where you sit in a lecture hall&take notes, click on a clicker, etc. Both are valid, but offer different ways of learning.) and professors who are hired for their ability to teach at the undergraduate level&integrate students into their research. In the colleges listed below, students are less preprofessional and more learning/research focused, but you would find that at Honors colleges too. The issue is that many Honors colleges may not be as open to a late application, though you can try.

My recommendation would be to apply to “less obvious”, majors. Comb through each website.
2 examples:
At Penn State your odds of being branched are high at this point but to increase your odds you can check summer session (if you’re available then) and choose either Biological Anthropology (+expressing interest in Paterno Fellows) or Epidemiology&Infectious Disease for a major.
At Iowa State, CALS has Biochem and genetics as majors.

And their Honors program has an April 1 deadline

Keeping in mind you’d want a stronger college for science research than Drake or SUNY Buff which are already sure things, you can email Kalamazoo, St Olaf, Lawrence, Denison - present your academic&athletic profile+roughly how much ~~ your parents can afford, indicate you would be grateful if they could let you know whether you could still apply.
