Can I get into college? Please, assist!

So. My first two years of highschool were very bad. My parents were going through some things, not to mention there were quite a few deaths in the family. I was extremely stressed out - my combined gpa for both years only measures up to a 2.5
So now I’m in my junior year. I’m going to bring up my gpa to a 3.8/7, so that after I finish my senior year I’ll have a cumulative 3.3/4.
I mainly want to know if the amount of AP classes I’ve taken throughout highschool will help my case when I apply for colleges… So far I’ve taken about 8 AP classes, that’s counting the 5 I’m taking this year. Also, my ACT score is a 25, (but of course I’m retaking it), and though I haven’t taken my SAT yet, I’ve been told my projected score is probably going to be around 1900.
To be honest, I just want to go to a nice state school. I have my eyes on Harding University.
Has anybody else gotten into a decent school with my scores?

How much will your parents pay? that answer will likely determine where you should apply.
