I think your chances are very good. Why don't you want to do track in college? I would think that you could get a scholarship with your experience. My D did ED2 last year and is on the track team. she absolutely loves Colgate. (She is not a scholarship student - this will give her an out if it gets too much for her. But she loves the team and the coaches).

well my PRs are just a bit high to get recruited by a D1 team, so i doubt my running would help me get into the school via recruited athlete...but if i get in, i ll definitly consider it

anybody else have an opinion on whether i can get in or not?

Why not ED1?

trying to get my test scores and gpa higher

Having a higher ACT will better your chances, but your current ACT score is just fine, as it is within the Colgate median ACT range.

I'd say you have a fairly good shot at getting in.
