I changed schools because:
1.) Family finances
2.) Very severe health issues
3.) Lack of educational opportunity-they didn’t have dual enrollment

GPA is a B+ average all together, my current school does a numerical grading average. My SAT/ACT are 1610/23, I know that is a little low but UGA does say that they can overlook that if the rest of the options w/GPA, Rigor, and EC, (I am diagnosed with severe test anxiety no matter how many times I do practice tests, lol :)) ) I am taking 34 credit hours this year (17 in the fall/spring) for dual enrollment, which is equivalent to 10 APs. At the college I am dual enrolled at, I have participated in clubs over there. I have done Campus Movie Fest, a national movie fest competition, and made the top 25 films within the school’s lists. I was also a member of my school’s SCRUBS program, a recently establish club for students interested in any career in the medical field. At my previous school, I have organized and recruited member for the school’s first robotics team. I lettered in football and wrestling at my previous school. In football I’ve helped my team make 4th in state. In wrestling I made it to state my first year of wrestling while under two weight classes including placing in a national tournament, and received the Most Improved Athlete Award. I am an active volunteer at my local hospital since freshman year. I am the first male volunteer under one department (committed 300 hrs (so far)). Been a member of Beta Club, NHS, and FCA and have organized events under these clubs, particularly for Winter/Spring Special Olympics as well as Operation Christmas Child. I raised the most money in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Swim-A-Thon ($720 at an average of $5) under my community swim league, which I made to state under their league as well as receiving the coach’s award for the most outstanding character (chosen out of 130 athletes). I also started a lawn service for my neighborhood and was a lifeguard for my local pools (receive the most complements in a single shift for lifeguarding: 104)

what are my chances?

So, your GPA would be about a 3.3? In college speak, a B+ equals a 3.3 GPA. The UGA average GPA last year was a 3.83 and it will only be higher this year.
Like you have said, your test scores are fairly low, and although these aren’t the most important factors, they are still considered important. Many people end up on the waitlist due to this exact issue. However, in the ‘special circumstances’ section on the application, you can refer to the medically diagnosed testing anxiety.

Also, I’m not really sure where you heard that 34 credits equals 10 AP classes? 10 AP classes are 10 AP classes and 34 credits are 34 credits, there is no conversion between them. It’s good that you challenged yourself with dual enrollment, but they are not the same as AP classes.
You have a lot of good ECs, you just need to express them well on the application an possibly through your essays (if you choose to make essays about them).
