APs: World Hist 5, taking 3 exams this yr (Eng. Lit, Calc AB, US Hist) and probably 4-5 next year

I am an intended History major and literature minor...I plan to write a research paper to submit to the Concord Review to go with the intended hist. major. I am also going to England to study this summer and then doing an independent study in Euro. Hist senior year since my school offers no AP.

my grades freshman year were ok-ish but skyrocketed soph. year and this year i have straight A's...all Honors/AP in all possible classes

What are my chances for Colby? I plan to visit in a few weeks and go back in the summer to have an oncampus interview

thanks! I LOVE Colby. I don't think I'd apply ED because it's not my absolute first choice, but I visited a class at Colby and talked with the professor, and then a couple months later I won the colby book award at my school at junior awards night. I hope I get in *knock on wood*
