Here is the website for Indiana State in Terre Haute, IN. They take applications until June 1.
Here is the link to Western Illinois U’s freshman admissions standards - looks like you’d be eligible for admission.
The tuition is based per credit hour, but 12 credit hours is about 5k per semester.
Deadline for applying is May 15.

There must be many other schools that are also still taking applications, or have rolling admissions that fit your academic profile. Best of luck to you!
I agree with your counselor, that with your ACT score, you are probably ready for 4-year college academics.
