Help me before im doomed my senior year.

Hey so i dont usually post stuff in here but I really need the perspectives of lots of different people that know what they’re doing because everyone I ask about this tells me something different.
Im currently a sophomore (school ends may 22nd) and I AM FUCKED. The only highschool classes ive taken are all level classes. Freshman me did not know what was going on and it was only until September of last year that I realized how cooked I am. This started because I become super interested in electrical engineering, and I was instantly intrigued, however it was only after watching like 100 Ali Alqaraghuli (the goat) videos and becoming mega interested in EE did I realized that you need to have taken honors and APs. I live in texas which means I really want to go to UT austin but going there for EE Is extremely difficult.

The main issue:
\- the on level math course for my school is geometry sophomore year (contrary to some other schools ive seen where alg 2 is sophomore, although alot of kids also have alg 2 as sophomores because they got a level ahead of the rest in some way at my school)
This means I cannot take AP physics my junior year which is super important for EE

So I have questions:

  1. Does anyone know of a way I could take algebra 2 over the summer?
    \- I asked my counselor and she said that our summer school doesnt offer it so is there a niche way I could take it so that I could possibly take calculus my senior year?

  2. Should I start studying for the sat right now?
    \- Ive asked lots of my peers and many told me to only start 3 months before but i feel like if I start earlier I could a get a above average score.

  3. Should I change my junior year schedule?
    \- Im taking all honors, APUSH and DC english
    Electives are band robotics and honors computer science (I was gonna do ap but you have to take a placement test that I was too late to take)

  4. Is there really a chance for me to get into ut for EE ?

Im also doing a big college project with my friends where we’re developing a drone that can monitor forests

IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY REALLY HELPFULL INFORMATION FOR ME OR QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW PLEASE I NEED THIS.
