I think you have a good shot, especially if full pay. Great EC’s, and you are from a Catholic institution. Do you plan to swim collegiately? Have you contacted swim coach? I know a current HC freshman with comparable GPA and SAT, who also swam in h.s. - opted not to compete at next level. He also attended a Catholic secondary school. Good luck!

Whether or not you pay full tuition has no impact on admission decision^. Holy Cross meets 100% of need-based aid and doesn’t use need as a factor for admission.
As a current freshman with similar stats, I would say you have a really good shot especially considering your level of demonstrated interest!
