Are you familiar with sports terminology? This combination shows you as a "High floor, low ceiling" academic prospect. You'll probably do well wherever you go to school but you're probably not smart enough to do anything notable, especially at more difficult universities.
That being said, there is much more that goes into college admissions than grades and test scores. If you are an "underrepresented" minority your chances are great with your numbers.
As for overall advice, the best thing you can do is take the ACT/SAT again. I'd study hard and take the SAT if I were you, if you do well you don't even need to send the ACT score to schools.
If you are a female, I would suggest you put on your applications you are interested in a STEM/hard science major. Schools are constantly trying to hit this demographic and you can just switch over to whatever major you want when you get in. Good luck, if you have any other question's I'd be glad to help.

I wouldnt worry about it
There were some legit retards in some of my college classes. Like, I don't know how they passed 6th grade tier.

Not that it is the first place an admissions officer's mind would go, but it could indicate that you got a ton of academic help from parents/tutors/the internet. With a GPA like that at any decent school you should be putting up much better numbers on standardized tests.

I'm part Pacific islander. But you couldn't tell by looking at me. And I wouldn't say that I can be super smart. I'm just not good in areas that are tested
