It looks like you and I are on the same boat. Deciding on top choices, yet fear that it might be too much of a reach.
Our situation are some what similar, not that similar though. Family issues, etc. If you dont mind sparing some time reading my post.

Just remember though you are doing pretty well, overcoming those issues. I hope that you get to your goals.
Anyways, what are you going to do if universities ask for HS transcript? Or did you do GED? You mentioned that you dropped out.
Your stat are not all that bad.
I’d say apply to 3 top schools of your choices, one or two state flagships, and may be 2 LACs. Thats what i figured what I’m going to do.
If you dont apply, you will never know. Its good to also have realistic options.
Hope everyting is alright.
