I knew a girl on my floor at Colgate with lower math and verbal SAT (I think she was 490M 650V; probably ~ 130 points lower than anyone else I knew at Colgate), who not only was admitted, but ended up graduating magna cum laude and went on to be a professor. She seemed similar to you in that she had done reasonably well at an all girls school and was pretty smart and interesting, but test scores didn't show it. She did apply ED and was from NC, so was somewhat unique. If you really like Colgate and are able to portray yourself as interesting, you could have a shot ED.
You would probably have a better chance at similar, but less selective, schools like Lafayette, Union, Hobart, Skidmore, St. Lawrence, Franklin & Marshall, Dickinson. You may also want to consider similar to slightly more selective schools with SAT optional policy (Middlebury, Bowdoin, Bates, Hamilton, Holy Cross)
