A good match for CLA. Not a lock, but you’re right in the mean (maybe a bit low) for the kind of student CLA accepts, and your curriculum looks strong. Good luck!
Your ACT is at the 25th percentile compared to 2014 Freshman Class. On low end but still OK as Khidhala said.

Your Class Rank is low compared to 2014 entering class (25th % = top 23% of class). Maybe you can emphasize the rigor of your classes and also the numerous athletics you were in.

Good Luck! I think you have a reasonable chance with some explanation.
Thanks for the responses! I’m retaking the ACT in September to try to raise my score.
Raising the ACT would be good. The real issue will be explaining your class rank. What caused the low ranking; i.e. a lot of brilliant students, bad semester or two, sports taking time from studies (i.e. AAU basketball), etc. That will have to be addressed if you want a shot.
