What is the unweighted GPA?

Your SAT is is below the middle 50%. Luckily, for you, that is only about 1/3 of the decision.

Looks like you have strong APs - if you count all AP and Honors classes are you at or above 18 classes for HS? That shows the rigor of your academic GPA.

I would encourage you to check that you would attend summer session. That may be the difference?

My unweighted GPA is a 4.0. I have never taken below an honors level course during HS. I am retaking the SAT in October.

For undecided, you should be fine, but to increase your chances, consider starting in summer and try to increase SAT to at least 1250.

I wouldn’t worry too much, just raise the SAT or take the ACT. Especially for DUS you should be okay.
