Not that i am qualified enough to advice others- but personally i think you look great

SAT is good, unfortunately colgate doesnt look at the writing section. Depends on what your 3.6 means, how that places you in your class, how rigorous your schedule/school is etc...

3.6 is the median GPA of recently accepted Colgate students.

You're certainly an interesting applicant with impressive stats in some areas, but being an Asian girl from CA will work against you...

3.6 unweighted, my school doesnt weight or have rankings. i go to a well respected, challenging private school in socal, so i think its pretty legit
my schedule wasnt that rigorous because you have to get recommended for APs, so i took 1 last year and 2 this year, but my schedule is still pretty rigorous regardless...

i'm half asian... i mark the multiracial/other bubble on my apps

why does being from ca work against me?
the west is the least represented area for students at colgate
