Super match?
Seriously, you shouldn’t be worried. Your ACT score is average (and so is your GPA, frankly), but your curriculum looks pretty good. Extracurriculars/outside endeavors look great. How are your AP scores?
I recommend that you take the SAT in October. You should have enough time to submit them for early decision. You’re showing progressive academic improvement, keep it up.
Good luck!

Do they need Tennis Players there? Do they have a strong “Tennis” program? If so, then that certainly would be in your favor.
You’re grade point isn’t that high, and Early Decisions at colleges are really about picking top students, so I would think you would be up against some strong candidates. Your letters from the summer program professors could help, since they will know that you have been at the school and really want to attend there. Good luck.
