what are my chances in college acceptance? Options

[swishersweet]

I'm a Junior at a public highschool. My gpa on a 4.0 scale is 3.0 and on a 14.0 scale it's 9.8(or close to there); rank 140 out of 500. I'm currently enrolled in 4 pre-ap classes: Pre-AP Algebra2, Pre-AP English 3, Pre-AP Chemistry, and Pre-AP Spanish 3(for distinguished graduation plan); played JV football, JV soccer, Varsity powerlifting, and Varsity wrestling. I have about 10 hours of volunteer at the library and 20hrs for community, so around 30 hours total. I haven't took my SATs yet but plan to register soon for the March date.

My only concern is that I failed my Pre-AP Eng3 class this first grading quarter on report card with a 63. It's the first class I've ever failed, so I was pretty much in shock. I think it will bring my GPA and rank down alot.. but IDK.

But the only college i can think of applying to right now is UT Arlington.
I plan to do a 2+2 program and transfer to a bigger and more prestige university.

Could you suggest any other colleges and tell me my chances of acceptance?

LOL UT ARLINGTON IS A PIECE OF SHIT GO THERE IF YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH MEXICANS AND EAT TAMALES FOR LUNCH EVERY DAY, OH YEAH BREAKFAST TOO!

But seriously, lol @ UT Arlington. No joke, that place is a shithole. Did you know the government is trying to cede half of the campus over to Mexico? Stupid ass government putting up a fence and saying everything on the other side becomes mexico's property.

UTSA = 99% acceptance rate~ go there. CAP program, 4.0 gpa there for 1 yaer, instantly get into UT Austin.

AYE, I happen to LIKE tamales, so I wouldn't mind eating it every day.

lol UTSA's acceptance rate reminds me of UCR's acceptance rate (or so it seems).

wtf, I'm so glad California doesn't have any of those pre-AP shit, or at least not that I know of. We have honors classes, also on a 5.00 gpa scale, along with AP classes. AP > Honors > Regular.
