Hi so Im a rising senior and applying to 4 year colleges, and I know UC requirement is gpa of 2.5+, and i have failed some classes and Im nto sure if I am even uc/csu eligible, is there anything I can do at this point? I have decent extracurriculars (like research,sport,internships,coaching,tutoring,volunteer), its just my gpa. what can i do at this point as a rising senior? im genuinely so scared pls dont bash me like I just fully gave up on my studies I think. But over the summer right now I have been studying for my AP classes for next year to get a good gpa. but right now what do I do I am genuinely so lost.

edit: Sorry I know this might sound like Im valuing the wrong things but my parents will actually come after me if I dont apply to college. I myself dont want to go to CC but im willing to take that path its just my parents are threatening to fully cut me off if I dont get into a 4 year. and also the situation is so bad (as of circumstances?) and i have a learning deficiency that i went to doctors for but refused to go to get it fully diagnosed because I found out young and was afraid judgement from classmates, and my parents didn't believe in learning disabilities.

I'm a rising high school senior (class of 27'). I had a 3.66 in freshmen yr, 3.58 sophomore yr, and 3.84 junior yr. I have many extracurriculars (ex. founded my own nonprofit, founded 2 clubs, raised thousands of dollars for different causes) and volunteering hours (ex. hospitals, tutoring, summer camp councilor, etc.) and also published my own research project. I'm also SGA vice president. I have 3 strong letters of recommendation. I also have won many school (8), state (5) , and national (2) competitions. I have taken AP classes but I'm limited because my school doesn't provide much. I plan on taking 4 AP's senior year. Idk if this is useful information but I am in state (pg county) and I speak 3ish languages. I'm taking the SAT in August but from my practice tests, I have averaged 1350. Also what are my chances with aid from umd (need-based). Also btw I want to major in Biological Sciences: Physiology and Neurobiology, Neurosciences, or Public Health on a pre-med track.

p.s. sorry for my bad english, it's my third language.
