<p>oops sorry i meant to say do i have a chance at the bottom</p>

<p>Your GPA improvement has been dramatic so I think you stand a decent chance at all. If you are serious about Holy Cross, you greatly increase you odds by visiting and interviewing. I would suggest visiting and interviewing with all the schools you are serious about so you make an informed decision.</p>
