Are you being recruited as a swimmer for the school? That’s one way to up your chances.
You can see how you stack up compared to the class profile. Nobody here can tell you much more than that. Applying ED helps a good bit at Lafayette.

Also, expressed interest is very important to Lafayette.
What is your unweighted GPA?
3.7ish
@swim100fly : Personally, I think you have a shot; you’ve got solid grades, plus a pretty good ACT score. With Early Decision added (ultimate form of demonstrated interest), I like your odds.
Current freshman here, by the way.
