I’m about to be a senior and I’m really worried about admissions next year. My years so far In high school haven’t been great with me barely passing many classes (didn’t fail any but I have a lot of 65s) and my gpa just isn’t that good. I have a decent bit of 90s and 80s as well but I think my gpa comes out to low 3s although I’m leaning more towards low 3s. I’ve not really been very happy in my school since I’ve never really taken it seriously and I never knew what I wanted to major in until really around this time. For reference my school could be labeled as very strenuous as it’s one of the ‘top 20 public high schools in the country’ and you have to take something called an shsat and do well to enter. I have taken a good amount of ap classes and didn’t fail any and plan on taking more next year. I did very bad in foreign language and math classes but did well on the end of year or course tests for those classes. So I have no idea what to do now, I’ve taken the sat once and I got around a 1200 on it and I plan on taking it more to hopefully get above 1300 and maybe if I study enough a 1400. If it makes any difference I do have 3 letters of recommendation lined up already. My Ecs are ok but nothing special to be honest i joined a couple clubs and had leadership in one along with some volunteer work and a tutoring internship that I don’t know if I could count. I plan on taking positions or leading a club or two next year. I’m located in the state of NY, any guidance would be appreciated, (I’m thinking of either staying in state or going out of country for college and either plan on going into architecture or medical)

I was previously using perplexity pro's browser control agents which im pretty sure they use claude for but my subscription has finished and I don't want to renew. I just need it to answer simple questions itself after for example, telling it to complete something, etc. Doesn't have to be free but preferrably less than 10 dollars a month.
