I definitely think that you have a good shot at Colgate. I had a bunch of friends in my graduating class who go in with similar stats. We had a record breaking number of kids get in this year, something like 9 kids got accepted from my school out of 10 who applied, all within the top 10 - 20 percent of the class. I think I was the only one in the top 10% to apply (10th in the class out of about 520). I mean, your unweighted GPA is kind of low but that is understandable because of all the weighted courses and your weighted GPA is fine. In terms of SAT's, my friend had a 1380/1600 and got into Colgate no problem. As long as you have some good EC's, strong teacher reccomendations, and decent essays, you should be fine. Best of luck with the whole admission process!
