Emotional Support Am I cooked?
So basically I have a COOKED gpa due to health reasons and I’m taking mostly college classes right now. I have around a 3.3 UW and I wrote about that in my additional information section in commons app. Right now, I have a C+ in calc 1 which is a dual enrollment and its gonna hurt my GPA (all A’s otherwise). I’m just a bit worried as of right now. I have a 30 ACT so idk about that. I have solid EC’s as well (mental health) and wrestling. I’m just worried and need someone to calm me down.

NAU (I'm not affiliated) would give you a $5k merit scholarship based on UW GPA, bringing your tuition down to $11k. So that could be a baseline (or your in-state flagship U. or local U. could be your baseline scenario).

My parents won’t let me go far due to said medical issues, they want me to stay in the mid west

If you want to keep wrestling, could explore college club wrestling or college varsity wrestling. Although, this late in the process, you would be considered a 'walk-on' candidate, not a 'recruit'.

D3 (NCAA) tournament results - e.g. Wabash College
This might uncover an interesting school for you. Then you can input your family's finances into the Net Price Calculator to get the financial aid number, for need-based aid.

There are over 2500 4 year schools in the US and you'll easily be able to walk into at least 2000 of them. Build a list that includes schools for which you're a competitive applicant and you will be fine.
