Biomedical Engineering, 29 ACT Math? URGENT

Currently applying to colleges, and I'm having a bit of a conundrum. My father is an engineer, and it's been my life-long dream to work in the medical field (research, specifically) because I have a rare disease that has led me to spend long days in the hospital. I've done out of school programs for science, and have done very well with those. I am stellar at english, but don't want to major in it, but I see it as a very useful skill in research. My problem lies with math; I skipped a grade and the school board's compromise was to take me off the fast-track program, so I am only in AP Calculus AB. I've earned B's/A's and have a solid understanding of the math that I was actually taught. Unfortunately, I don't remember ever learning probability for whatever reason, so it screwed me over on both ACTs. But do I even have a chance at top schools? Should I change majors so I can get in somewhere as science, or at the very least, something that will help me achieve my dreams? My ACT scores are Composite 33 (Twice) English 35, 36 Reading 34, 36 Math 29 (Twice) Science 33, 30 Writing 31, 34 I'm applying to UCs (Davis, Berkeley, LA, SB, maybe Irvine?) USC Stanford (as a legacy) University of Washington Seattle
