Good luck
Penn/Cornell reject, don’t know about the rest.
A one or two point increase in your ACT composite results could likely increase your acceptance probability for your top schools somewhat (but your u/w GPA will remain not especially competitive).
Davidson College (ED): Very high chance of being accepted.
Emory University (EDII): Good chance of being accepted.
Cornell Human Ecology: Rejected
Boston College Carroll: Waitlist
Wake Forest: Accepted
Wesleyan University: Rejected
University of Richmond: Accepted
UPenn: Rejected

Good luck! You will most likely get into a bunch of top schools.
Davidson: Match
Emory: Math
Cornell: Reach
BC: Match
WFU: Match
Wesleyan: Match
UR: Match
UPenn: Reach
Colgate: Match
Lehigh: Match
Youll likely be in at Davidson (or Emory, but better odds at the former) making the rest of your list moot. But still:
Cornell - WL (crapshoot)
Boston College- Either Way
Wake Forest - Accepted
Wesleyan - Rejected
Richmond - Accepted
UPenn - Rejected
Colgate - Accepted
Lehigh - Accepted
Davidson College – ED? Accepted. Not ED? Rejected
Emory University – EDII ? Accepted. Not EDII? Probably still accepted
Cornell Human Ecology – Rejected
Boston College Carroll – Probably Rejected
Wake Forest – Accepted
Wesleyan University – Probably Rejected
University of Richmond – Accepted
UPenn – Rejected
Colgate University – Probably Rejected

Hey thanks for responding to my thread!
I think you are a competitive applicant, but your UW GPA will hurt you at the more prestigious universities. Best bet is to really work hard on your applications and have some killer essays. Best of luck!

we have extremely similar stats (UW GPA and ACT) so I’m hoping the best for you. Good luck!
I think your chances for acceptances at Davidson are excellent if you apply ED. It’s probably more of a high match for RD. Penn, Wesleyan, and Cornell are all reaches. Emory and Colgate are in the high-match/low-reach range. Others are matches, I’d say. If you want Davidson, go for it. I think they love those who love them. I suggest applying to at least one other school with either rolling or non-binding early action, while keeping some backup choices.
@woogzmama Yes, my safeties are state flagships with rolling admissions, PSU and Temple
