Your dramatic improvement will help you quite a bit but no guarantees. The SAT scores are impressive.

I would also suggest adding a couple more top Catholic colleges since you are at a Catholic high school. They typically are more accepting of kids from Catholic high schools: Colleges like Holy Cross and Boston College in the Boston metro area. Fordham is a great choice as well.
