For both, your GPA is on the lower side, and your ACT is on the higher side. On the other hand, you have a clear upward trend in your GPA, which means that your GPA may not be as much of an issue as would a steady 3.78 or a downwards trend - you are getting As on the most challenging classes, especially the college level ones.

You have two long-term, intensive ECs, and both piano and karate are excellent ECs (perseverance, dedication, and focus), which is also great.

Still, both colleges have acceptance rates below 25%, so they will be reaches, but not out of reach. So you should definitely apply, and definitely demonstrate interest.

Having your GC speak about you strong upwards trend in your GPA may also help.

Good luck!
