Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi, so i was wondering if i can still get into my top choices for college. Im a Junior this year, however i got a C+ in Hnrs. Geometry in freshman year and i think im on par for another C+ in Hnrs. Physics. If i do well on my upcoming final i can prob get a B- (fingers crossed), but no guarantees -_-
I like to challenge myself, however my physics teacher can not teach, most of my other class mates are also struggling so idk, i mean i try so hard too i dont get why errr, but i cant blame him entirely because it is a higher level course, and i struggled
Im pretty well-rounded, i do tennis and soccer, Captain of the Tennis team, and Co-Captain for soccer, while im in many clubs as well, Robotics (Vice-President), Math League/Club (Secretary), Science League/Club (Treasurer though i dont do much), MOck Trial (one of the leading Lawyers), Future Medical Professional Club, FBLA.
I have 800+ hours of community serive from CFA, Library, Hospital, and Boy Scouts.
Im in all honors and ap’s except Spanish, in all of them i have all A’s and high B’s
I took one AP last year, AP Comp Sci: i got a 4 on it
Though i was not able to take AP Lang and APush due to some sceduling issues (im in honors tho), will be taking APs next year, AP Bio/Chem, Psych, Lit, Econ, Database (not ap but college level class for Java), will be taking honors Calc
GPA: 94 thats how my school does it not out of a 4.0 scale
On my Sat’s i got a 2150
Act: 32, took them today hopefully can get 34 or better lol
For major im between: business, comp sci, bio-medical engineering
If i do BME, im thinking about going on a pre-med track
Now for colleges i am gonna apply to: BU, BC (reach i think), Northeastern, GA Tech, UCLA, USC, RPI, Drexel, Rutgers, WashU (Reach) (more later…)
so will my C’s hurt me alot when applying to these colleges, and do i have what these colleges need to get accepted, if not plz let me know what i should and can do…plz help me im sort of freaking out…

Also does anyone know if you need a good physics score for bio-medical engineering, and if anyone has any colleges they would recommend taking into consideration my resume i would love to look into them

Thanks

Can you afford these schools?
Take UCLA off of your list if you need FA, OOS student competition is tough. Same goes for USC. Those schools are very competitive.

yea money is not a problem as of right now, ik the competition is tough but i will still like to apply
what about other colleges, how am i looking?

I have to say, as a general rule, I am not very impressed with a HS Junior who can’t covert a 94 on a 100 point scale to a 4.00 scale. Not trying to be a complete jerk here, lots of people do that same here on CC and it is just a personal complaint of mine. Forgive me, I’m not trying to pick on you specifically.

More important than that, does the scale your school uses contain “bonus points” or some other kind of weighting factor? Higher values for AP or honors classes? That’s most important thing - if they do, you need to recompute your unweighted GPA because that is what most colleges are interested in.

I recommend American University and George Washington University in DC! I think you’d have a good chance at both schools.

Thanks, and alot of people say that GWU is a great college i agree, i will consider
and yea Nick ill look into that grading system but in the meantime how are my chances for those colleges given my current track
