You have an impressive stats! I have no doubt you will get in to quite a few if not more on the schools you listed, both private and public schools. I’m sure you will get into Colgate based on your achievements, stats and background as the school is really trying to diversify their student population. My daughter is a current freshman at the college. She never applied outside of NY. She was wait listed at NYU, got a presidential scholarship at StonyBrook but none at Binghamton, also presidential scholarships and grants from RIT, RPI and Clarkson. Denied at Columbia. It all boiled down to the FA she received and the proximity of Colgate from us, only 30 miles away. Good luck !!!

Safeties are very important. Definitely do not neglect your safeties. However, the SUNY’s are in general very good. Also, like @kpopmomrunner I expect you to get into quite a few schools on your list. I am interpreting “Brazilian” as hispanic, which makes you hispanic with nearly perfect stats.

I am not too worried about your ECs.

You might want to run the NPCs unless you are fine with being full pay. Otherwise it looks to me that you are doing very well. Good job, and keep up the good work!
