Your GPA does seem a little low, but as long as you show you are able to work hard on your studies (via teacher recommendations and essays) you should have a shot. Your ACT score seems good, but have you considered taking the SAT as well?

Applying ED helps, too. As long as you do everything in your power to establish good interest in SU and a good set of fields you wish to study (that you can back up with extracurriculars and connections to current SU courses/research), it will definitely not be a wasted opportunity.

When it comes to reaches, low reaches are close to targets but your stats might not perfectly reach the bar on all levels. If your essays are going to be “killer” then I see no reason for you not to apply.

If you are looking for other schools to apply to just in case, there are many in Rochester like U of R, RIT and St. John Fisher that I think rival SU in certain academic fields.
