Should I apply?

<p>Here's the story: I'm a rising senior from a highly ranked high school in Tennessee. I want to major in history/pre-law and I got interested in Colgate through my online college search. The problem is, there is absolutely no way I can get up there and visit until next April(if I get in). So, based on my stats and the other colleges I'm looking at do you think I should apply or that I even have a chance? THANKS!</p>

<p>College of William and Mary
Emory University
University of Chicago
Georgetown University
University of Illinois
UNC-Chapel Hill
University of Virginia
University of Tennessee(safety)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.72 (unweighted)/4.1 (weighted)-(.5+ for honors/1+ for AP)
I will have taken 9 AP classes, 6 honors classes, and 4 years of foreign language.
I have no idea what my class rank is, but its probably in the top 10% or very close to it.</p>

<p>ACT: 30 (33 reading/30 math/29 english/26 science)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Assistant Karate Instructor (been involved since 1996 and have done many things on regional/national level)
Sports Editor for my school newspaper
Student Council representative & head of a committee/committee member
Interact(service club)-head of various projects and treasurer
National Honor Society committee member
400+ hours of volunter work by time of graduate (Presidents Gold Award)
Distinguished Spanish 1 Student award</p>

<p>I don't know what a 30 ACT translates into on an SAT scale, but you certainly seem in the running.</p>
