I've always had huge hopes about college. Am I screwed now?

I've always wanted to get into a college like BU or Syracuse, and now I feel there's no way that's going to happen. My life took a rough turn when my mom got divorced and became an alcoholic. I had to stop focusing on school and start focusing on her and my little sister. Now, I have the worst grades imaginable with a 2.5 G.P.A. in my junior year. I haven't taken the SAT's yet, but I'm really good at testing so I think I'm going to do well on those. I'm taking AP's this year and next, even if I didn't get good grades in one of them this year. I'm an excellent writer and I was in a writing program this year with Bates college (as a part of my high school's "partnership" with them). I want to be a lawyer, I always have and I always will, but I also want to minor in english. Advice? Try not to be too harsh, I know I'm pretty much screwed already, I just need advice on what to do. DO NOT SUGGEST COMMUNITY COLLEGE. I refuse to go to one, I have to get into at least a state college. Any suggestions for colleges I can go to? Outside the state of Maine please? Somewhere warmer maybe?
