You may have a chance of getting in but your GPA will hurt you. The average student who is accepted to Holy Cross has a 3.85 unweighted GPA or higher. With a 3.3 weighted GPA, I will assume your unweighted GPA is in the higher 2.0’s or lower 3.0’s. You also do not have many AP courses. Your extracurriculars are fairly good if you are interested in applying as a student-athlete, however, colleges like Holy Cross strive to see exceptional leadership in clubs (President or another official position, etc.) I was accepted with a “low” GPA (3.8 weighted, 3.4 unweighted) but I exhibited leadership in a range of activities, so I know Holy Cross does value extracurriculars, essays, etc. All around, the admissions team does an excellent job holistically viewing applications. Good luck!
