Do I even have a chance? Please help!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi! I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I know I still have a bit of time until college, but I’m getting really paranoid. Can students with average grades get into Colgate?
*sorry if this is in the wrong category!

Here’s a breakdown, by the end of high school, I’ll have:

Freshman year: 4 honors, 1 regular (93 overall average) *unimportant electives
Sophomore year: 2 honors, 2 regular and 1 AP (they forced me to drop into an regular earth science class because they didn’t offer honors) *unimportant electives
Junior Year: 2 honors, 1 regular, 2 APs *electives of college marketing, college accounting & business management
Senior year: 1 honors and 4 APs (taking 2 math courses: Precalc honors and AP stats) *electives of contemporary business SCALE class, DECA

*I always get around a 92-94 overall average (3.9-4.0?)

EC:
Red Cross (secretary, sophomore year) (President senior year)
English Honor Society (secretary senior year)
Science Honor Society
Math Honor Society
Global Honor Society
Business Honor Society
DECA (qualified to states, but could not afford it)
Key Club
(probably will have more board positions)

My dream school is Colgate University, I WILL BE APPLYING EARLY DECISION
I’m Asian and from New York.
I’m aiming to get a 29-31 on the ACT, but who knows what could happen. I know I can get pretty good recommendations and can write a decent essay.

I feel like my class rigor is average (especially having those regular classes) so do I even have a chance at getting accepted into Colgate?

With no outside interests (ECs) and only a 30 on the ACT, you don’t have a very high chance.

92-94 weighted or unweighted? If it’s unweighted, and you can bring your ACT score up a bit, I’d say you have a very good shot.

I know a kid with a 3.5 UW GPA and 30 ACT that got into Colgate ED class of 2015

Will have regular classes affect my chances? Like it won’t make or break me right?
