<p>I think its a match! I would recommend not sending your ACT score but otherwise everything looks great! Did you apply ED (cause that obviously helps) Good luck!

<p>Your GPA and your EC’s are quite impressive. Just like what everyone one said, I also agree that you shouldn’t send in your ACT score as it isn’t required and it makes your GPA look inflated a bit. Otherwise, I would definitely say that you will be accepted to Holy Cross!</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me on my UC’s but can you also take some time to look at my other schools that will be great! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1584854-what-my-chances-will-chance-back-asap.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1584854-what-my-chances-will-chance-back-asap.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I will chance anyone as soon as I can if you can chance me!</p>

<p>From what I could gather about Holy Cross in 10 minutes of research, I reckon you’re a strong applicant overall. Since test scores are optional, I don’t think you should sent that 24.</p>
