The problem with MS State and Ole Miss is OP wants to be in a city. Same issue with Auburn and Bama.
Schools like UAH and UAB may work, especially given the Junior year and decent ACT…certainly easy apps and quick decisions and both are in cities. VCU may be another worth exploring.
I’m not sure any work…but they are easy admits and in the city.
My guess is community college is probably the way to go. But i’d find a few schools that seem of interest and call admissions and talk to a counselor. Some schools have easy apps - so you can apply early (like now) and find out soon - so you know where you stand. Kennesaw another - likely a reach but the ACT may work.
Good luck.
