<p>good chances.
your ACT score will help for this school.
just get your GPA up a little (to be on the safe side) and stay involved in all your clubs.
good luck!</p>

<p>speaking from experience, you’ll get in because you’re from a Jesuit HS. I went to one and even though Fordham claims to accept 93 and above averages and all that, it’s as if it doesn’t apply to those going to Jesuit schools. Lowest I saw accepted was a 79.</p>
