Although your EC’s are excellent, your GPA, Rank and SAT scores are below the average for these schools. You should add some less selective schools to your list. You should also look at Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Franklin & Marshall, University of Richmond, Skidmore, and Dickinson.

Your current SAT, though not everything, wouldn’t be bad at all for Colgate:

Your GPA, as stated above, and as you would know already, will be an important factor for you though. So recognize your individual choices as either reaches, high reaches or possibly out-of-reach. However, you could get into one or even two of them. Hoping you do, actually. Good luck.
