College Recs?

I'm currently sitting at a 3.3 uw gpa (freshman year messed me up) and an 1190 SAT. The only AP class I'm taking this year is AP Physics 1. I plan on taking APES, AP Stats, AP Gov&Econ next year. I don't really have that many EC besides some clubs, a bit of piano, and marching band+winter percussion.

For majors, its not exactly determined but most likely something in the STEM field. I would like for it to be located in Cali because in-state tuition cheaper, but I'm open to out of state schools too. If people can recommend some schools with around a 45-70% acceptance rate, that would be good.
