I think you really need to think about what your goals are for the future. If you want to be an orchestral musician in even a small city professional orchestra, you are going to need a lot more time. I highly suggest taking a gap year to try to bring your level up. Other things you might consider include doing a BA (instead of a BM) program at a better school, which often lets you in with a lower level. You can also work your rear off in undergrad and then do a graduate program at a better school. But it is going to be a hard road, as you have a lot of catching up to do.
There are plenty of people out there who really enjoy teaching, whose level is not that high and who went to third-tier schools. If music education is more your goal, you will be able to get into higher level programs with a lower playing level. A lot of the Texas state schools would probably be suitable, UNT and Austin being the usual suspects.
If you get a performance degree from a third tier school at the usual playing level of that type of institution, expect a hard road. It is possible to make a living this way if you enjoy teaching little kids and can put together a lot of small playing gigs (weddings, community orchestras, etc.). Definitely get Suzuki training and have a backup plan.
You don't have to go to a place like Curtis or Juilliard to have a career in music ... only if you want to have THAT career in music.
I know of one student whose pre-college path was similar to yours. That student did take a gap year and is currently studying at the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University in Georgia, with a great teacher.
It sounds like you were saying you were at the OP's level as a 10-year-old and now you're playing the Tchaik at roughly age 17.
The OP is likely a 15 or 16-year-old sophomore. They don't have the 7 years to get to a conservatory audition level for a performance major. It doesn't mean that they couldn't work really, really hard and eventually get into a good grad school, but come audition time, they're not likely to be playing at an immediately competitive level.
