Another path you can take is to enroll at a community college for a year or two to demonstrate your ability to succeed in coursework. Check with the school to be sure that the coursework credits you earn will transfer to a larger school of your choice.

A relative of mine took that path (due to the crappy school he attended as a teen) and graduated as a chemistry honors student from a State University.

Reliance on ACT scores (yours isn't all that low!) is a mechanical, shitty practice. Route around the damage.
