<p>I’d say stop worrying, because you’re basically in</p>

<p>I think Santa Clara is becoming increasingly difficult to get in and I think you need to raise your ACT score if possible…you are in the bottom 25% of last year admits…always a risky place to be. And, as you say, try to raise your GPA as much as possible. Play up your religious aspect and make sure to visit, show interest and keep in contact with your regional admissions person…</p>

<p>i would say SCU is a low reach for you mainly because of your gpa and act scores. i suggest you pull it up to at least 3.6/28 for you to have a solid chance.</p>
